I read this on CNN today. These giant squid are so cool! The Discovery Channel had a special on a few weeks back on them. There's so much to learn about their behaviors and habitats, all we have to go on is washed up bodies and a bit of footage, recently obtained.

The giant squid made a lot of physiology research possible which benefits flowed onto humans as it had such a large axon to use for studying electrical activity and synapses.

Everything else seemed too small at the time.

Now, of course, it's the environmentalists that are so interested. But from one research other researches flow.

I'm glad you had heard of it, it all sounds insignificant to so many but to the dedicated few it's like discovering gold.

Great to have your visit and comments, Winston.
