Video of a Rare Giant Squid

Holy moly. That is no squid. That is the evil clown thing from "It" in it's new habitat.

Also interesting, this comment in the article:

"But the video is evidence of how, as oil- and gas-industry ROVs dive deeper and stay down longer, they are yielding valuable footage of deep-sea animals."

Evidence? Interesting word choice. I thought evidence was something to be gained from scientific inquiry. I would have said, "This video is an inevitable by-product of what happens when greedy companies destroy unexplored habitats because they are the only ones with enough money to go down there."

Seriously, should we like, thank the oil companies for their scientific contribution as they wreck the habitats for creatures like these so we can never see them again? Hopefully next time they will encounter squid with lasers instead, or in addition to, elbows.
