Up from the depths 

No this is not Godzilla - or even Godzookie, but it is something that they would have fought given half a chance.

The first colossal squid has been caught by some fishermen and it is indeed collosal check it out here

Now there are those that have asked if I am on special quid alert - I am not but man that is just freaky and looking at my last post I have to wonder will this be something else that we kill off in the same way we did the mammals of Australia, via global warming or over fishing etc. If you think about it folks have never seen a colossal squid whole before now but now we know loads about them - but are they being seen more and more as he sea warms?

There was a cool book called Meg by Steve Altan about a creature who comes up from the depths and causes all kinds of bother. The book is kinda like Jaws - just less well written to my mind - but it is fun non the less. Anyway back to the point - the reason that Meg turns up is that the oceans are warming up even down in the uncharted depths. I guess the question we have to ask is whether or not this could well be happening now.

Kinda makes you wonder
