COLOSSAL SQUID is coming for yooooou!

here is a post by Tacky Raccoons (a very cool blog-thing) about my favorite of all squids: the mighty Mesonychoteuthis Hamiltoni, or the COLOSSAL SQUID. you should all quake in fear of these guys... they have razor-sharp serrated swivelling hooks in each sucker, get lots bigger than the more famous Giant Squid (architeuthis dux) and supposedly are capable of shredding several pounds of meat per minute off anything unfortunate enough to be caught in their loving arms.

i also liked the quip about macadamias at the end of the post. i can tell you personally, there is a very good reason they sell them pre-shelled. those fuckers are hard to crack!!! i ordered some raw macadamias from nutsonline earlier this year, and still have half a bag left, as i can only manage to get a few out with a hammer, a rock, and a good deal of effort. (and lots of noise. the neighbors now think i am crazy, but what else is new)

but boy are they delicious.
