NZ fishermen land colossal squid

[G-Dub]

Holy shit!

Fisheries Minister Jim Anderton said the squid, weighing an estimated 450kg (990lb),took two hours to land in Antarctic waters.

Local news said the Mesonychoteuthis hamiltoni was about 10m (33ft) long, and was the first adult colossal squid landed intact.

I'm telling you it was THIS big.

 

[Dynasty]

I hate humanity sometimes. Yes its big, so let the ***king thing LIVE instead of killing it and slapping it in a museum after youve done a million tests on it, just to turn around and say 'we've never seen anything this big before' or 'it has blood in it' etc.

Lets throw some humans in a cage, probe and prod them and see how they like it?

[Darkside55]

[JFry]

It really does look like a giant penis.

 

[Reginald]

It really does look like a giant penis.

One of us has a huge penis deformity. Cause mine looks nothing like that.

Come now, just because yours isn't like that, don't you think it's petty to call a huge penis a deformity?

 

[Ren.182]

Wow, that'd definately be a brown pants moment if I saw that while I was swimming in the sea, or on some small fishing boat. D:

Poor thing, shame they killed it.

 

[Tollbooth Willie]

Holy F*CK that is huge.

*tenctacle violently pops out and drag you inside
you: oh dear **** aaaarrrghhh!
*you get draged in the toilet and blood and crap is all what left*
and no one see you again *spooky eyes*


btw I read that they said the squid was dying when reached the surface

 

[Krynn72]

hahaha! what the hell do i eated?!?!

Oh silly rjmc... people in North America take shits while on the toilet, not IN the toilet. Therefore I am safe from violent tentacles and bad grammar while taking shits

 

[Tollbooth Willie]

DO NOT MOCK RJMC THE FIRST! He will **** you up asl.....

I mispeeled asshole? I F*CKING FAIL!

 

[Seppo]

I told you all "they" would arrive. And now we have proof

 

[<RJMC>]

whel I said in cuz when you sit on it is like you are IN the toilet?

 

[Seppo]

I guess they sit on the toilet seat whilst in the toilet

 

[Krynn72]

You are in the bathroom, on the toilet. In the toilet would imply that i was wading around in the poo water. Your shit goes in the toilet, so you stay outside.

 

[ríomhaire]

Oh shit, the Soviets are invading. SOMEONE GET TANIA!

 

[xcellerate]

Colossal squid, which are found deep in Antarctic waters, are thought to be about the same length as giant squid (Architeutis dux) but are much heavier.

WEAK and FAIL.

Come back when you catch a giant squid.

 

[bam23]

Eat it to get it's powers.

Seems like bringing it to the surface almost killed it. Invertabrates that live in deep water tend to be internally pressurized to fit in their environment and not get crushed in the deep ocean. Dragging a squid up from 2,000+ meters down too fast will literally cause it to explode from the inside out, as suddenly there's no pressure pushing down on it, and the internal pressure has nothing to equalize it. They froze it after they captured it anyways, they weren't planning in keeping it alive.

Yes, New Zealand is know for its inhabitants and their over-sized tentacles.
