Well, I must have been good this year, because santa brought me something I really, really wanted.

Live video of a GIANT SQUID!!!!

Everyone here knows I'm a huge geek of many different flavors. But think of my fellow blogger's love of movies, action figures, politics, and breasts all added togeather. The resulting pile of gigantic geeky love might equal my love of the weird animals that live in the sea. Maybe.
Ever since I was a little kid I was facinated by the animals that lived in the sea. Especially the huge ones that stayed mostly away from the world's cameras. No animal was more ellusive than the giant squid. For years i dreamed I would be the one to discover and study it. Obviously, that isn't happening and that's probably a good thing. But I can live vicariously through other scientists as they finally, after years of trying, get the creature alive on film.

Sadly, in filming the animal, the scientists killed it. Guys, seriously, let's try a little harder here to not be such jerks. However, it was the Japanese, who seem to bring their kamakazie attitude to all walks of life, including science.

The upside? The scientists announce that the animal is not nearly as rare as they once thought. Just think of these things, filling the ocean depths.

And the one caught on film? That was a small one.

Merry Channumas to all and to all a good night.
