Whining for a paper

Somebody out there must be able to give me a fix—I keep trying to get this paper, and either my library gives me ambiguous messages about access and a few errors, or the Royal Soc. site balks and tells me that there is system maintenance going on. I can't even get to the videos. Come on, man, I'm going through withdrawal here. I need a little taste. Please.
Kubodera T, Koyama Y, Mori K (2007) Observations of wild hunting behaviour and bioluminescence of a large deep-sea, eight-armed squid, Taningia danae. Proc Biol Sci 274(1613): 1029-34.
There's got to be a fellow academic out there who's willing to help out a squid junkie in need. If you can send me the pdf, I'll owe you bigtime.
Thanks to Reginald Selkirk, Bob O'H, and Don S., I now have my fix. I'm squirting it into my brain through the eyeballs right now. I may have to go lie down for a while to let the good feelings linger.
This is pretty nifty -- putting out a request and getting multiple replies in less than a half hour.

It's in its way. I got system maintenance on the videos as well.

Another copy of the PDF is on the way as well.

In my field, I've noticed that many authors place their papers online, independent of the formal journal's web sites ... I found the one your pining for using Google!
btw, you misspelled the title :-(
"behaviour" -> "behavior"
Perhaps that slowed you down a bit?

Aparently, Taningia danae loses the two long tentacles as it matures.
