Squid vs. Whale Smackdown?
– – What could be cooler than a battle royal between a colossal squid and a sperm whale?–Well, maybe a three-way between the whale, giant squid, and a T-Rex, but that’s just for rich fantasies! Sadly, even the image of the giant squid as the Kraken which attacks ships is not all that it’s cracked up to be…
Marine biologists reporting in the April issue of the Journal of the Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom have painted a picture of a mostly sedentary creature that would wait to ambush passing fish rather than even bother to swim after them.–What a slacker squid! As a cold-blooded creature, the colossal squid was not even great whale food; it simply wasn’t that nutritious!
I still look for colossal squid to enter the United States by coming through Arizona, evading the police, and taking jobs that no native-born American would want…then they’ll be able to get health care!

They’d probably be carrying forged papers that “identify” them as freshwater octopi from Oklahoma.*

Let us not forget Squiddly Diddly, probably the only anthropomorphic animated squid!
