EDITED TO ADD (7/22): A final note:
…the poor museum volunteers, the hardy souls who showed the members of the public around, explained what was going to happen, and led them to their seats. Raise your glass to …
the super calamari giblet exhibition docents.

“Cannibal squid dissected live on internet”
http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2008/07/17/2306599.htm
“The male of the species has a penis which is approximately 1.5 metres in length and operates like a nail gun, shooting sperm into the arm of the female.”

According to the linked ABC.net.au/news/ article, “… the deep sea creature is a [sic] ancestor of the common snail.” I’ll have to ponder the implications of that statement, but I can say that squid (some of them, anyway) put on a bigger light show and get higher action movie billing.
I was disillusioned years back when I learned that squid engage in cannibalism. (A public television nature program showed one squid species in the act.) I’m glad Homo sapiens has never sunk to such animalistic behavior.

I guess they assumed they could get away with obscurity because squid blogging doesn’t happen till friday. Just goes to show the hackers will do anything to spread horror movies. Don’t try to blame this one on your open WLAN, Mr Schneier.
