so some fishermen caught the largest (well, technically, a colossal) squid ever. and what did they do? they killed it and froze it. now, they’re trying to figure out how to microwave the thing (which is the size of a bus) so that they can study it better.

uh, am i the only one who thinks it was perhaps imprudent to kill the squid before anyone got the chance to poke and prod it? i mean, wouldn’t you learn more from a giant (colossal) squid if you studied it alive rather than defrosted?

i’m not weeping for the life of the poor little (colossal) squid here. it just seems a little short-sighted.
