Major Cephalopod News!!!

*finally is registered and so has own internet access here at the library and can squee about this*

OMG FIRST EVER PHOTOS OF LIVE GIANT SQUID!!!!

Read that twice and note the important word: LIVE.

Finally! God, that is so cool. Such crafty scientists, those Japanese. I'm sure Steve O'Shea is just writhing with jealousy.

Glad things are moving along okay for you. Don't you just love libraries? Very practical and useful things they are. LOL

Wow. Giant Live Squid. Jules Vernes' novels indeed. Makes me want to read 20 000 lieues sous les mers again.

LOL I saw the squid news clip at 6 this morning (that's an hour ago) and thought of you instantly!

Hey, figures the Japanese found it, what with them fishing off the coast of Monster Island. Hope they don't wake Godzilla up again.

I thought of you immediately when I first saw this. *g*

I know I haven't been commenting, but I do want to tell you that I've enjoyed reading about your move to Wales and how you're getting settled in, just as I've always appreciated your cephalopod posts. I've learned a lot. :-)

Yay w00t! Totally rockzor!

And thanks to you, when my hubby called me from his office and said, "Guess what someone got live footage of!" I was able to say very calmly, "A giant squid!"

I usually hate the news and avoid it like the plague, so he was both mystified and impressed. Which is a good state for a man to be in. ;-)
