Comments on: SQUID BODY FROM WHALE STOMACH (AZORES) http://www.squidblog.net/2005/03/28/squid-body-from-whale-stomach-azores/ "Giant squids at the bottom of the ocean have a much better time than we do."

I can assure you that we discuss it intensively during instant messaging sessions, and at dinner table. Though shy of a consensus, a plurality view is that a fully clothed man of average size, swimming at a depth of 600 meters, could quite easily be mistaken for a large teuthid, especially if that hypothetical man was scared and flapping around like a little girl. It is interesting that you ignore the real question: what's a good simile for a man sliding down a whale's throat? An oyster? A goldfish? A thing you don't want the cops to find on you? There's a rather mysterious new pic up on the Azores thread. Check it out, fellow cephalogeeks.

It is interesting that you ignore the real question: what’s a good simile for a man sliding down a whale’s throat? An oyster? A goldfish? A thing you don’t want the cops to find on you?

There’s a rather mysterious new pic up on the Azores thread. Check it out, fellow cephalogeeks.

Yours truly,

And I'm glad your dinner conversations extend into the realm of the morbidly macabre.

We also talk about whether or not a giant squid could eat a person. (In theory, yes, but it would take a long time; the colossal squid is another matter.) No disrespect was felt, Jeremy.
