Public dissection of a giant squid

Category: CephalopodsOrganisms

This is a long streaming video, so you might want to save it for something to watch over lunch. Mark Norman takes a giant squid apart at the Melbourne Museum.

Ooooo the suspense! Will it be filled with an explosion of candy pieces or a creamy nougat center??

Squid dissection? Over lunch? Interesting concept though I usually listen to MPR and sometimes even that makes me queasy. :\

Currently downloading for later viewing... it's taking even longer than the "Starcraft 2" preview. I hope I can finish the download before I zip down to work. I'll watch it while eating some ceviche.

I am still amazed that the guy who wrote those "Gor" books is a marine biologist...

This here bureaucrat does NOT watch dissection videos during lunch (90s era Eddie Vedder videos, yes).

They showed a small segment of it on TV. I was really surprised but then I realised it was SBS.
