Giant Squid on display in Georgia Aquarium

Giant Squid (Architeuthis Dux) on Display Georgia Aquarium

The giant squid was discovered dead on a beach at the Plum Island National Wildlife Refuge in Mass., north of Boston, in 1980. Its long feeding tentacles were missing, and most of the tips of its arms were broken off. But otherwise, the specimen was in good condition. After being examined, it was determined that while alive, the animal was maroon in color, nearly 30 feet long and weighed approximately 450 pounds. It is now cased in a specially constructed nine-foot-long wood and fiber glass container, covered with a plastic window.

Australian fishermen catch giant squid

FOXNews.com - Australian Fishermen Catch 20-Foot, 500-Pound Giant Squid - Science News | Science & Technology | Technology News

MELBOURNE, Australia — Australian fishermen have hauled up a 20-foot-long giant squid off the country's southeastern coast.

Skipper Rangi Pene said Monday that the 500-pound squid was already dead when it was caught in a trawler's nets Sunday night in waters more than 1,640 feet deep.

Paul McCoy, a fisheries research biologist, said it took 10 men to lift the squid onto a stretcher and place it in a storage freezer in the city of Portland. A museum will collect it this week.

Giant Squid to Read in Chicago

Dearest Mojonauts, It is with greatest pleasure that I remind you that on Saturday, May 31 -- less than five days hence! -- I shall be reading in Chicago, Illinois, on the occasion of the release of the print version of Mr. Noah Berlatsky's Gay Utopia symposium, to which I am a humble contributor. As I am personally unavailable for the engagement, Mr. David Erik Nelson -- Noted Writer of Things and co-editor of Poor Mojo's Almanac(k) and associated media services -- shall read in my stead. Please extend to him the full faith and credit that you would offer me, a murderous denizen of the crushing deeps, displaced to this airy and alien space for lo these many years.
