Once relegated to the realm of Vernian science fiction, the giant squid has slowly seeped into biological reality, but until recent years the only evidence consisted of putrefied remains and the partially digested contents of sperm whale stomachs. However, a couple of years ago, Japanese scientists procured the first grainy photos of a live giant squid in its natural habitat and earlier this month, the same team recorded footage of a live specimen being pulled to the surface.
For those who read only the mundane and largely unimportant sections of the paper such as business and world politics, here's a photo of the squid in question:
I have to admit, this was one of the toughtest polls thus far. Of course, I let my perverted side win out in the end. I wouldn't have lasted at the GHZ so long if I wasn't that sort of person.
That said, I don't much like the available responses. It is a badass, but do I want one? They don't allow pets in my apartment building. Granted, the giant squid could probably destroy my landlord's entire company, but where do I keep it?
High school would be better with a giant pal that could give me rides, but unfortunately, this fucker is a fish, and if we can't breathe in the same environment, then I want nothing to do with it.
I would TOTALLY pay someone money to drop a giant squid into a Japanese girls' high school. Hell, even if it DOESN'T turn into a real-life hentai flick, it'd be funny to see.
