First Live Giant Squid Photographed

This extraordinary image, captured by Japanese scientists, marks the first-ever record of a live giant squid in the wild. The mysterious deep-sea creature has inspired countless sea monster tales and a variety of scientific expeditions.

The giant squid was photographed 2,050 feet (900 meters) beneath the North Pacific Ocean in Japanese waters, where scientists attracted it toward cameras on a baited fishing line.

Dear Chomping Beak

I oppose the situation in Iraq, but the son of our closest family friends has joined the military in order to serve there. Now I feel bad about speaking out against the war, but it feels wrong just buttoning up my opinions like this. What can I do?

Well, what the fuck else is that that's extending from behind the camera to the squid?

I assumed it was some sort of targeting laser for the camera.

hey dellis, maybe if they installed lasers in your eyes, so you had laser guided vision, you could be a superhero or something. your power could be seeing things in the direction you look. !!!

Admitting that you are stupid and said something incredibly stupid would be a start.

Then an apology for acting like you know what you are talking about when you have no clue.

But, I've seen them. Just because you haven't, I mean...that obviously makes me wrong.

I can't prove to you that targeting lasers for cameras exist, so why bother arguing with you?

I think dellis means cameras with fucking laser range finders.... But still...

jaymay15 · 09-28-2005, 11:03 AM

He doesnt understand the concept of a camera apparently. Or why having a laser on there makes absolutely no sense.

Now to find distance or heat index, thats possible. But you dont 'see' the laser. So him 'seeing' one is a bunch of bullshit.
