Terror From the Deep! Giant squid emerges from ocean near Japan.
2006-12-26
by James Owen, National Geographic

Like something straight out of a Jules Verne novel, an enormous tentacled creature looms out of the inky blackness of the deep Pacific waters.

But this isn't Gojira vs. Calimari science fiction. A set of extraordinary images captured by Japanese scientists marks the first-ever record of a live giant squid (Architeuthis) in the wild. . . .

I'm waiting for the giant turtle. Time to get out my MST3K DVDs.
