Who needs the Lock Ness Monster when this guy can haunt your dreams?

Scientists are prepping to study a ginormous squid that was caught by a fishing crew in Antarctica last January. This 900-pound specimen is 30-feet long and has eyes the size of dinner plates. The carcass has been floating a giant tank of ice water as scientist try to decide the best way to examine it. They’re assuming they’ll only have four hours with the squid before it starts to decompose. Hmmm, delicious; there’s nothing like the stench of 900-pounds of seafood rotting to make you want to work faster. It would be an understatement to say that I’m glad I don’t have that job.

With clawed tentacles and a sharp beak, this giant squid gives us a new reason to avoid going back into the water. At least a shark will tear you up rather quickly, as apposed to being pecked at by a giant black beak. I spell a Sci-Fi channel original movie coming on.
