Rule 1: You do not talk about Squid Club...
They're not that big. I demand squids of this size :http://bigsquid.files.wordpress.com/2008/03/squid.jpg
or better.
Awesome! I love squids!. :D
I already admitted to my involvement. This merely the first wave, meager humans. Fear our might! Cthulhu commeth!
That is not dead which can eternal lie. And with strange aeons even death may die.Quote:

Still, it is pretty dang cool. Some of my friends have caught smaller ones of those, they weren't nearly that big. Might have to call him up, see if he's been out fishing lately.
What the hell?
Omg, the stars!
Edit: I happened to see the "the stars are right" on the cover of a magazine before I saw this, kind of a weird coincidence.
sperm whale gogogo! :D

the Humboldt Squid is pretty commun in the Gulf of Baja California, in Mexico, the weird thing is that they have escape the gulf and go all the way up to California.
there's some legend that in the gulf of Baja California exists a giant Humboldt Squid, the "monster quest" show of Discovery Channel made a chaptar about that, they even got a video of "something" that looks like a giant squid.
Behold their Queen, DSquid's mother.

That's an old picture. Shes got a bit more girth in the backside and a few wrinkles now.Quote:

On a second note, how do you live where you do since theres no ocean there?
He lives in a bucket of chum
A mega-sized aquarium tank with a waterproof keyboard and mouse, and a screen opposite.
i cant see the picture G_GQuote:

One word: Ziplock.
Three words: DSquid owns everyone
Dont suck up to much, you might not come back alive.
Hahaha guys you have been foulled. Humbolts are way to common and they are not the real giant squid. The true squid species classified as "Giant Squid" is around double the size of humbolts. Else, the Colossi squid, has only been recorded only twise; and any death body they find around is small and wrecked.
We know more about space than we know about our seas... So I still do believe in krakens. My theory is that their natural predators are whales or other sea giants which use sonarlike communication. This is why we can't spot them in sonars or with modern boats.
all hail cthulhu!!

:cool:
All too true, all too true. Mind you we probably know more about space than we do about a lot of the land areas of earth, the Amazon for example.Quote:

Then again, we've only been working with the system for around a century (the first patent was taken out in 1913), whereas cetaceans have been working with it for millions of years.
This thread confuses me greatly
You do not know of the Great DemolitionSquid whose mettle is night unbreakable? For confessing such ignorance you will surely be torn asunder by his immense tentacles, and your remains be used to help feed his vast horde of minions.
I just dont like seafood
That's alright, I suspect more than a few of the great lords minions won't particularly savour the taste of 'air-food' either.
Its called "land-food." And we enjoy certain things very much. Like your tuna-of-the-land.Quote:

He is far from oceans, but he is in danger of rednecks and cows.
Can someone tell me how the heck you would measure or quantify a statement like

Guess I can do that.Quote:

Now, our little circle called Earth has a 360 degree plane that will travel into infinity in any direction. This plane offers visibility of anything within itself, you just change the tools. The only limitants are: technology (money involved), light speed and time.
On the other hand, there is a concentrical circle within the first one. The difference between the first one and the second circle stablish the ocean. The outer limit of this difference offers a 80%-95% of visibility. The next division of around 5% of the whole area of the difference, offers a visibility ratio from 70%-85% on the external range and a 5%-10% of visibility in the deepest range. After, the rest 94% of the total difference is pitch black.
The last area of the difference (pitch black) may only be explored by a little submarine with visibility of at most 1-2 meters. Sonars do not pick up soft tissue nor small organisms (Ty for this knowledge). So in this case the limitants for research are: Technology (money involved), amount of light, people, interest, pressure, temperature, weather, ice, density of water, particles in the water.
We know about fish populations because we fish them, we know an aprox. of how many we catch and where. Else, if someday a fishing fleat returns with no fish, we can only infer that we fished them out; but they could have moved some killometers away. Just as we can't explain why humbolt squids ended up in california.
Besides, life not only depends on sun light; but also we found out that an estimate of the same or more amount of life lives in the chemical chimeneys in the bottom of the sea or other powerful sources of energy.
So while we know there's astral catastrofies and black holes far away, we do not know about more than 50% of the ocean creatures, nor their habitats. Yes, we have nice pictures and videos of the deep ocean and some chemical chimeneys, but there's around 99.99999999999% of this havitats that we haven't seen.
He's getting to the kids now too!

If it wasn't obvious already, there's a reason the Mass Effect Reapers look like squid.
