I brought this up to a friend of mine last night as we were getting high, his first reaction? Korean Nuclear Testing. That really clicked with me. Just watch... they're gonna catch a Gojira any day, now.

ha ha i was about to venture the nuclear testing hypothesis. it's as old as godzilla. the thing is though the koreans did not test on the sea. is it still remanents of the hydrogen bomb test of the 50's and beyond??

Can you prove that? Y'know, being the devil's advocate and all.

What, exactly, is the shelf-life for that kind of nuclear fallout? It seems a little far-fetched that the h-bomb testing would have any sort of noticeable after-effects this late in the game, but I would never write it off. For all we know, the first time we ever split an atom could have set off this massive, unseen chain of events (like an irradiated butterfly flapping it's wing... you know that old saying regarding causality) unleashing ramifications we could never conceive nor predict with our limited knowledge and perceptions. Hell, maybe Einstein killed God.

It stands to reason that it could be climate change however consider this we nuked them japaneses way bak when so it could be a result of that or maybe the Japaneses are digging a tunnel to NY to watch SY play coz they are scared of flyinf ooooooooooooooh the possibilities:eek:

I like that last one. Puts the Chunnel to shame.

Fucked up.

The Vampire squid is a strange creature. You wouldn't catch me swimming in the dark with one of those.

The Humboldt squid is a quick, aggressive and dangerous predator.

i saw a humboldt squid documentary awhile ago, the guy who dove deep to 'film' them actually had one squid swim up to him and GRAB his camera, threw it at his head, and actually knocked him out cold for a few seconds.

those were the ones in the Sea of Cortez right? those things were nasty

you see the one on the Giant Squid in the Sea of Japan? that was an excellent one, seeing the large numbers of Sperm Whales feeding on the remains of the squid was very interesting, supposedly the battles between the two are quite fierce

(vonnegut attributes our general unhappiness as a result of brains TOO big.)

Edit: That should read GALAPAGOS, not Cat's Cradle


I love that book
