Interesting article on the colossal squid, which is larger than the giant squid.
The article answers a vexing question:
So why do we always hear about the giant squid and not the colossal squid?
Well, part of it has to do with the fact that the giant squid was discovered and studied long before the colossal squid.
Scientists have been studying giant squid since the 1800s, while the colossal squid wasn’t even discovered until 1925.
And its first discovery was just the head and arms found in a sperm whale’s stomach.
It wasn’t until 1981 that the first whole animal was found by a trawler near the coast of Antarctica.

University of Connecticut basketball player Jordan Hawkins claims to have suffered food poisoning from calamari the night before his NCAA finals game. The restaurant disagrees:
On Sunday, a Mastro’s employee politely cast doubt on the idea that the restaurant might have caused the illness, citing its intense safety protocols. The staffer, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to officially speak for Mastro’s, said restaurants in general were more likely to arouse suspicion when they had some rooting interest against the customer-athletes.

This is fascinating:
“When a squid ends up chipping what’s called its ring tooth, which is the nail underneath its tentacle, it needs to regrow that tooth very rapidly, otherwise it can’t claw its prey,” he explains.
This was intriguing news and it sparked an idea in Hopkins lab where he’d been trying to figure out how to store and transmit heat.
“It diffuses in all directions. There’s no way to capture the heat and move it the way that you would electricity. It’s just not a fundamental law of physics.”

The tiny brown batteries he mentions are about the size of a chiclet, and Hopkins says it will take a decade or more to create larger batteries that could have commercial value.
