As everyone knows, I am a science buff. After getting my Aquaculture degree at old James Cook University with an impact in Fish Farming, I then apprenticed under the great Hajem Haleseh. Even though I left all of that behind to follow my dreams in starting up an online community dedicated to customized license plates (www.platewire.com which proudly boasts a growing community of over 60,000 members), I still have a soft heart for cephalopods.
In recent news, a phenomenal thing has happened. The Kraken from 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (not to be confused with my favorite TMNT episode, 20,000 Leaks Under the Sea) might not be just folklore anymore! A New Zealand fisherman caught the worlds largest Colossal Squid off the coast of Antarctica. Yesterday, the fisherman was deep sea fishing and reigned in the 33 foot, 990 lbs. Colossal Squid, taking just over two hours to reel in. This is the first Colossal Squid (larger cousin of the fabled Giant Squid) seen live. There has been legends of this sea beast, who often feasts on Sperm Whales, but no one has seen this species live.

And in related news, a sperm whale of a different kind finds squids to be erotic.
Thats all for now. Sorry for not posting in a while but I have been busy with PlateWire. If anyone is interested in this great community, don’t hesitate to holler at your boy.
