Nice

[Lord Blazer]

Fucking 59 feet tall man, that thing would be fucking huge. Now I can see where all the science fiction stories come from. That's crazy, mang.

[Deano]

Imagine these things were common, one squid is enough calimari to feed a small family.

That giant squid is tiny compared to the dead ones found on beaches. The biggest one found to date is about 80ft long (25 metres) This one just 8 metres. Smaller then what people expected but the TV filmings of it sure were exiting! The first living giant squid found sure is decent!

[Dominator Dan]

I have a book on creatures, and there's some Jellyfish that's 50metres tall, no joke, I'll get a pic if I can

EDIT: ok it might not be 50metres, but I definitely know it's bigger than 20metres ( and when I say 20-50 metres, that includes from the top of it's head to the end of the longest little tentacle )

The longest giant squid on record measured 59 feet (18 meters), including its two elongated tentacles.

Oh yeah I read about this in The Daily Mail.

Isn't there something very similar on a '3' advert?

[Slade]

That's quite an old 3 advert, yeah.

What confuses me is this recent one where the ladies are squeezing odd plastic glowy things and orgasming over them. What the fuck is up with that?

[Gorosaurus]

That's awesome, I knew they'd do it someday.


BTW, they've found a jellyfish that was longer than a blue whale, making it the longest non-plant on the Earth, even of any dead ones yet discovered. It wasn't real impressive though. Not much mass at all

[Shawn McGravy]

This stuff is fascinating!

I was thinking the same thing when looking at the pictures. Finally we see one in the ocean, but it pales in comparison to the 60 footers that we know exist. Unfortunately it was a small giant squid.

[Lord Blazer]

And then the coolest part is that the 60 ft whopper is just the biggest that's washed up on shore! There's one's that have to be like, twice that big! Water + fish + shit is so cooooOol!!!

[Melrose Let Down]

I just wonder if there are other giant fish down there that we have no idea about. I'm sure there are some pretty amazing things in the ocean we have no clue about now... considering we have only explored about 5% of it.

[Lord Blazer]

My friend was telling me about how this guy caught a 300 lb fish.

[Steve Adair]

your friends a liar.

[Gorosaurus]

A 300 lb fish is a pretty broad statement. Any New England shark contest sees several entries exceed that

[Kunio]

That jellyfish looks like its puking a giant lava ball or something
