Release the Kraken!

First-ever photos of live giant squid

I'll be the first to say it: The Architeuthis was so much cooler when it was undiscovered. It was like, you had to seek it out, and only the coolest knew to even look. You know, us indie-ichthyology hipsters. It wasn't being spoon-fed to us by some wannabe hack phylogeny 'zine. Coelacanth? That thing was a big old sellout. Giant squid was the underground! Now it's just a big old media whore like all the rest. It'll probably be dating some anorexic supermodel anyday now.

I miss when it was all about the marine biology, man.
