I always get PUMPED when I read about new discoveries. Archeological, astronomical, whatever. This "The Weird" is about my ABSOLUTE favorite type of discoveries: nautical! There is SO much of the ocean yet to be discovered and examined. The fact that we know more about outer space than our oceans both excites and saddens me. A GIANT SQUID was discovered recently, at 300 feet down (really...it's NOT that far when you consider the depth of the ocean). It weighed in at over 300 pounds and and was 12 feet long! How INSANE is that?! The first recorded live giant squid was in 2006, so this creature is fairly new in our range of understanding. What excites me most about this is that this could be a baby! These guys aren't the stuff of legend for no reason! I almost want to go out on a boat and beg one to come sink me!
