A fantastic blog from the Te Papa museum in NZ, home to the recently defrosted colossal squid, with a beachball-sized <a href="http://blog.tepapa.govt.nz/2008/04/30/the-eye/" target="_blank">eye</a> (all the better for seeing you with) and a 4cm <a href="http://blog.tepapa.govt.nz/2008/04/30/whats-all-this-beak-business/" target="_blank">beak</a> that will reduce you to calamari in seconds.

Why do we so love monster  squid?
