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.
