I watched this video twice, and for the life of me I couldn't tell its elbows from its ass...

Giant Squid, with elbows or without, are my greatest fear in life.

Not. Kidding. At. All.

Yes, I know this is an irrational fear.

This is fascinating/horrifying. Seamonsters are rad in theory and totally scary in practice.

Everyone gawks when the giant squid solve the puzzle of the Rubik's cube, but what about when they solve the puzzle of the destruction of every human coastal city, one, by one, by one? What then?

No answer? I didn't think so. Wipe them all out now, while we still can.

It looks like a giant virus. And a Sigur Ros video.
