Now to match the last the biggest ever SQUID apparantly has decided to greet US??? I luv these

A giant squid has had enough of living in the darkness and has decided to follow the light, hallelujah. I love when these stories come up because there is still so much that we dont even know about our own world, while so many people are obssessed with other things outside, but i guess ya dont want all your eggs in the one basket if ya get what i mean. But this well known but very very ellusive creature is rarely seen alive and even more rarley captured, so each time one washes up I'm sure scientists start creaming their pants. Now one has decided to treat us with his/her presence, a squid washed up dead on Tasmania's west coast (thats in Australia if you dont know) is one of the biggest ever found, weighing in at 250 kilograms, with a cross-section as big as a truck tyre and longer than a station wagon. Scientists, who see it as an exciting and intriguing discovery, will today take DNA and tissue samples from the sea monster
According to one individual, "It is a whopper,'' Ms Walker-Smith said while en route to the scene today. "The main mantle of the squid is about one metre across and its total length is about eight metres."

What an amazing being.
