Another giant squid has washed-up on our fair shores...

Was a time this occurrence was rare, to say the least, and now it seems that every other beer-addled, speedo-wearing pot-bellied beachgoer is finding his own lovely Giant Squid to take home as a souvenir.

(That's a little bit of an exaggeration, to be sure, but still...)

Eh: these little boys don't even come close to the Antarctic grandeur that is the hook-bearing Colossal Squid: the real maritime sea monster.

When I was very little I read about Venus's harsh atmosphere and its beautiful lava seas. I imagined that a very strange (and very large) pod of creatures might swim through that hellish land (perhaps remnants of better times on 'Earth's Twin Sister').

Wierd- isn't it- that the mega-large squids of our world bear such a similarity to my imagined Venusian critters?
