Live giant squid photographed for the first time

The photograph makes it look like they caught it with its mouth open. Do you think the poor squid is home thinking, "Damn, I finally make the papers and they have to publish a pick of me shoving food in my mouth!"?

Am I projecting my own issues onto the poor squid?

From the Tom Cruise lectures link earlier today....

Co-sponsored by the Citizens Commission on Human Rights, the lectures will be held at Scientology's Celebrity Centre International in Los Angeles.

Ummm.... The Citizen's Commission on Human Rights is an perfidiously named division of Scientology, so in effect, these lectures are sponsored by Scientology, and co-sponsored by FUCKING SCIENTOLOGY.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

Live giant squid photographed for the first time:

Mmmmm....calamari....

It kinda bugs me that they hooked the squid and then let it sever one of its own tentacles as it made its bid for freedom.

I thought the same thing. But I imagine the giant squid just thought "Next time, you bitch-ass scientists, no more Mr. Nice Squid!" And also "Damn, I wish *I* had teeth on my tentacles! Then ain't *nobody* fucking with me...."

I'm not sure an animal clumsy enough to accidentally inseminate itself would want to have teeth on its tentacles. IJS.

And I'm sure their mates, if they have them, would be rather cranky.

On the other hand, if they have no mates, they must have DSL, so their waterproof keyboards would be rather cranky.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

TAR: Darn! I liked the family that came in last. But, I didn't watch the middle hour, so maybe they weren't so fun.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

TAR:

I'm still boggling at the "Pennsylvania...that might be a state, I don't know...." comment. Was she raised in a box?

Sad that the Black family went first. I was hoping to be rid of the screamers.

And OMG, how cute was the little Cindy Brady type imagining Phil saying "You're team #1" to her family? SO CUTE.

Now tagless for your comfort.

DH recorded My Name is Earl for me. I happen to think this is the best half hour I can spend watching tv at the moment. It's really, really cute and funny while still being a little...wrong.
