Here is the link to the Giant Squid story. I'm not sure if this was the same thing that Mare was talking about...but it's pretty creepy none the less.

Thanks Trinity! I did a search on the web, but nothing really came up under "octpus-thingy with teeth". Oh well.

Aw, Christine - all you need are the right words.... with teeth. Here are a few more links I found via Google, searching for "giant squid with teeth" =P

BBC - Colossal squid with 'parrot's beak' caught[/URL]
Mysteries of the Sea - Giant Squid[/URL]
In Search of Giant Squid[/URL]

Was diggin through the archives & I think this is just the coolest topic(next to purple frogs,of course!)lol.
Being out over deap ocean can be very intimidating w/all those miles of black water under you...spooky.

Gee, if those squids would attemp to attack a sperm whale, why wouldn't it have tried to attack the early sailing vessels especially if they hadn't seen one before - those ships weren't really that big and the squid might have thought they were grabbing the bottom of a whale. Those early sailors that reported sea monsters may not have been sea crazy after all.

I don't know,but we sure got some great artwork of ships w/big octupus-squid creatures wrapped around em!

Oh check this link out for even more fun info & big creature wrapped around ship pic!
