"... "They are these creatures of almost myth and legend and that just blows people away, but secondly, deep sea in general is just so fascinating because you don't have to travel to other planets to find alien creatures," he said.

"There's things down there where their entire bodies are made of snot, they've got detachable heads, their teeth fall out, they explode and they eat their snot jackets. There is just weird things going on everywhere ..." ~ http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2008/07/17/2307028.htm

Some of you here have a distinct lack of curiosity. The words above describe such squids. I happened to make time earlier this year to see a live squid dissection undertaken by Dr Mark Norman Deputy Head of Science (Marine Zoology) and a team of scientists at the Museum of Victoria and it was fascinating stuff ~ http://www.flickr.com/photos/bootload/sets/72157606211764544...

The video show is important because there is so little known about giant squid even though they live a kilometer below the surface of the ocean.
