How odd... - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+22http://www.latimes.com/media/photo/2006-08/25067095.jpg
I'd hit it. 2 of the 3 anyway. - PigThief, on 10/12/2007, -0/+18It died on it's own since it was at the shallow beach instead of in it's natural habitat. Read the article.
- eurocrisp, on 10/12/2007, -0/+14would it taste like victory?
- Wavey, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12This has been posted before on digg, but here's a video of a live one:

I know they're rare, but this one was alreayd dead and I AM curious. - skanker, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7I'm pretty sure any type of monster must taste good!
- Jadix, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5why is this called a "demon"? I mean ya its pretty big, but it just looks like a long fish to me..not a sea monster.
- rogersmj, on 10/12/2007, -4/+6There are pictures in the article. It's called a Photo Gallery. Try it sometime.
- Wavey, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3OK, I found something better. This place has some great videos of this strange creature.

- benhocking, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I think they called it a "demon" so that they'd have an excuse to put it in the sports section. Good story, but lame that it's in the sports section.
- wvdavis, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1@ dcgray2 - Maybe at depth they/you do. Not on the surface.
- MindlessMatt, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1almost looks like a really long silver green bean. Bet you couldnt use it to row your boat though...
- AboveBeyond, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1Perhaps this could be a variation of the Lochness?
I wouldn't have believed it if I didn't see the pictures. - Floodle, on 10/12/2007, -4/+2mmmmmm "sea jellies"
- Esstee, on 10/12/2007, -7/+3Looks more like a species from the eel family. But not quite a monster though :)
- GhostToon, on 10/12/2007, -12/+6Its called a demon because dumb ass sailors from a long time ago mistook them for mermaids and put there dicks in there mouths and the things bit them off so they call them demons. True story.
- rotagivan, on 10/12/2007, -10/+3There was this blind man right, he walked past this fish market, he stopped he took a deep breath and he said "Snfffffff, woooo good morning ladies"
