Japanese researchers have pulled up a decent sized giant squid and caught its final struggle <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2006/TECH/science/12/22/giant.squid.ap/index.html">on video</a>. Sadly the squid died during the process, making it a great xmas present for us, if not for squid-kind.

Thanks Anthony Matt!
