IMHO Installment #11: There's Nothing Interesting About Squid
In any given newspaper or news web site, I always love the science section. Dinosaurs, space exploration, archaeology... all interesting. But IMHO: There's nothing at all even remotely interesting about squid.
Seems every damn week, there's a headline touting some colossal, gigantic, ultra-rare squid caught. If they're so god damned rare, why are they caught and reported on every friggin week?! I'm sick of it. SICK of it. I couldn't give less of a fuck about squid. I don't care if it's 100 feet long and weighs a ton; I DO NOT LIKE SQUID, SAM I AM! (Until y'all find a 500-foot long one that swallows ships, that is. Then it'd be cool.)
So, dammit, let's get back to some REAL science news (okay, science editors of the world?). Gimme some damn tyrannosaurus bones, some new pyramids, a new cache of gold bullion, evidence of life on Uranus, a cure for AIDS, lost tribes in Africa with life expectancies of 150 years, giant flowers that smell like corpses when they bloom, cold-fusion, superconductors, nonotechnology, more stories about how chocolate is healthy, ANYTHING!

I think squid are pretty cool, myself, but only because they change colors.
Ok, come to think of it, I like pretty much anything that can change colors, so that's realy not saying much for the squid. I mean, I can stare - enthralled - for hours at Harry's throat as he decides to change a few select bits here, whole swathes of it, there, from purple to magenta to midnight blue to pink and baka gain, just because he can
And yes, I am easily amused. :)
You don't like hearing about the secret giant squid roaming the open seas that could easily crush any seafaring vessel? Nevermind that they never seem to be found alive. Or PERHAPS it's just that they refuse to be TAKEN alive! ;)
They are a tasty dried snack treat though. Nummy.
I like fried squid. What about a story about that?
