It's Official -- All Hail The Octopus Overlords!

[ohbalto]

Folks on the forum (if one considers this the natural off-shoot of the Gone Gold Forums, as I think we all do) have been raising the alarm on this one for years. Well kids, now it's official.

Giant Squids have officially overtaken human beings in terms of total body mass on the planet Earth.

Yup -- they're bigger than us, they take up more space than us. Can the inevitably mind-control slave collars be far behind?

What, you don't have yours yet?

They itch something terrible...

"Many of the species have exponential growth, particularly during the juvenile stage so if you increase the water temperature by even a degree it has a tremendous snowballing effect of rapidly increasing their growth rate and their ultimate body size.

Now we know who is really behind global warming. In 10-20 years the armies of the deep will have soldiers as big as 30 story buildings. The world will have to turn to Japanese B movie makers to have any hope of resistance...

Just a reminder: when preparing squid, cook them either no more than 60 seconds or more than 60 minutes - anything in between turns them to rubber.

I'll be concerned when the squid start offering tips for consuming humans. Meanwhile: http://fooddownunder.com/cgi-bin/search.cgi?q=squid

We can reclaim #1. Do your part - eat some squid today.

LP you should modify those tentacles to be in tap shoes. Your OO looks like he could do a mean tap dance.
