Flying Jumbo Squid Attack California

Really, this is not a joke or a story!

Well, ok, it's a story, but it's a factual news story. San Diego has been besieged by a legion of Humbolt squid. No serious injuries have made the news, but ABC reports that some of these Humbolt kids have smacked divers around and left their carcasses littering the beautiful Southern California beaches.

Get the full slimy story here.

Squid nation betrayed by National Geographic

We used to think National Geographic could be trusted to bring us non-exploitative, unbiased stories about this wonderful world we cohabit with you rapacious humans.

Those days are now over. The once-kind people of NG have gone all National Inquirer on the squid nation, choosing to publish this expose of our modest and slightly deviant sex lives.

What? Of course we're a little kinky. I mean, who hasn't cut a two-inch gash in their partner to inject a spermatophore? C'mon, people, don't play innocent with us.

Squid-happy Hakodate invaded by aliens

According to new video from the Hakodate tourist bureau, the Japanese city has been invaded by space squid from the planet Ikaaru because the Hakodate residents eat too much squid.

Apparently the aliens have taken over Hakodate's mechanical mascot, a real mechanical squid built by a local university in 2007. Now it's terrorizing the city. See if you can make any sense of it. We're rooting for the Ikaaruans, of course.
