Yes! Yes ! Yes!

With all of the recent news on this creature, I am joyed, that they finally found a pic of one in the wild.

But let me ask this. Once it's tentacle was caught, was it the Japanese that helped it to be ripped off, or did the have no other choice to let it go? Which is essentially, a willingness to allow an appendage to be ripped off.

I wish they had video, instead of just pics.

So is science!

My wife and I saw this on the tube.... scarey shit mon!
I'll never look at kalamari the same again. =)

Great pics. I wonder if the big ones are as tasty as the little fellers?

And that was a small one...

I have been waiting for this event for a long, long time. One has to ask oneself how it is possible that such an animal, especially of that size, could go so long without being captured on film.

Pretty cool stuff!

Come on! That squid is no match with the squid of the North wing.

*Feverently hopes that one of the North-Wing Hentai Squid's tentacles didn't "break off" while po1 was "visiting it"...*

Crazy stuff!

But why post this all teh way down here and not the general forum?

Psssst! - because we are still looking for that tentacle...

*whips out bullhorn*

No! It's mine now. My precioooous

When you use the 'Quickchanges' page as the entry point, there's no such thing as "way down here"

This seemed as good a place as any...

{{ and uh...I'm trying to ignore the implicaations of Webshaman wanting to play with Poi's tentacle.....

FANTASTIC!!! We knew they existed and now we actually have images, great stuff! Now I'm waiting for BigFoot... it's only a matter of time

Big...foot?? Tentacle??

Things are starting to get strange around here...

And DL, you're just jealous!

Can you imagine the priced paid for this tentacle?

I mean, if it was offered as food, the Japanese would pay through the nose!

Trust me, this thing is worth thousands, if not millions, if it was Ebayed!
