A pirate and a giant squid on the same photoshoped picture is a tad too much

WSUCougar · 01-09-2014, 10:15 PM

Accept nothing but the original. Stay colossal, my friends.

I bet Fukishima had something to do with this!

Not a Colossal Squid (Merely the giant variety), but this would be a nifty FOFC-themed arts and craft project:

I hear Putin personally killed it and had it as an appetizer.

In the British Paper the Daily Mail it has this line in the story about the squid

"It is not clear if the squid featured in the video is in fact a giant squid - which is longer- or a colossal squid, which is broader and heavier."

i didn't know there are specific requirements for it to be officially a Colossal Squid, I live and learn.

Well, every squid can be "a colossal Squid". But only 1 sort of squid is "the Colossal Squid"

this one does not at all look massive. There´s bigger Humboldt Squid being taken every day. And with that, my knowledge of Squid species is exhausted

This one of the "giant" variety:
