Beast of Burden
But, the thing is, do GIANT squids really exist?

Because, all the pictures I've seen of "giant squids" (the ones that crushed galleons) have not exactly lived up to the myth.

Maybe I've been spoilt by the Kraken and 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.

Bring out the vacuum
She's a model, and she's looking good

Towards the bottom of this letters page the Guardian concede they were misinformed about the photo which started this whole thread.

It's from a book which talks about giant squids, but the photo is of a model.

I've only just looked at this thread, but my first thought was "that squid is so made out of paper -machiete"

I read recently in New Scientist that giant squid are thought to be cannibalistic - they found the undigestible beaks of other squid in another squid's stomach.
