Well, the giant squid for president sounds like a cool idea, but electing an invertebrate to public office seems rather... redundant.
Anyway, I have to admit I hate sensationalist wildlife stuff like this. Now every two-bit sociopath is going to go Buffy the Cephalopod Slayer on everything with tentacles. Its the same with shark attacks; one shark even looks at us strangely and we start chondricthyan genocide. For crying out loud! :x
Not that I'm bitter or anything... I have some deep-seated conservation issues. :P
Oh, and Steve? How about the eight-ton land squid again? Or maybe...
Maybe it was C T H U L U!!! That's right! Like I said before; Ctuhulu calls... collect. He's tired of French Squid dishes and planned to do a deep-sea version of "Iron Chef" with the crew as the dish!
*sigh* And my application for Miskatonic University just arrived...
Just my two cents... Adjusted for inflation, 2.7 cents...
