jumbo squid!

Not my top choice of cephalopod, but this story about jumbo squid invading San Diego shores is pretty darned awesome. Worth it for the picture alone. ♥

That said, I take issue with a few of the author's phrasings: 'A shimmering incandescence rippled along its body, almost as if it were communicating through its skin.'

Strange that it should look that way, considering that's what they do. :P

I love this sentence, though: 'The animals taste with their tentacles, he said, and seemed to be touching him and his wet suit to determine if he was edible.'

Oh, cephalopods. How I love you. ♥
