- anubis2night, on 04/02/2009, -1/+31Exploding squid, a sign from the flying spaghetti monster that he is not happy
- focoguy, on 04/02/2009, -0/+17I'm gonna go kill me some TNT calamari.
- CrankMyBlueSax, on 04/02/2009, -0/+15Exploding squid you say? Is this a new thing? I would think we would have heard of this. There is all sorts of potential here. Seafood dining just got more exciting. Exploding squid in the NYC sewer system. Exploding squid would make the ultimate secret ingredient on Iron Chef. The mind boggles.
- angusm, on 04/03/2009, -1/+16Yeah, but once we've eaten the squid, we'll be left with jellyfish.
Urbanization, pollution and over-fishing seem to favor the crappier animals. So instead of tasty, tasty salmon, we get oceans full of large, cranky Humboldt squid. Instead of hummingbirds and eagles, we get pigeons and sparrows. Instead of cute little bunny rabbits (or whatever), we get rats. Bedbugs instead of butterflies. And so on.
A hundred years down the line, the only remaining non-human species will be the pigeon rat-squid. It will have eight tentacles (plus two arms, used for lifting the lids on garbage cans), a long naked tail, a thick coarse coat and oily feathers, and it will weigh as much as a large dog. It will live on a diet of refuse, rounded out by occasional small children or sleeping drunks. From time to time, a few larger specimens will team up to take down a subway train. Rat-squids will roost by day on fire escapes and telephone lines, emerging at dusk to hunt and scavenge. Their call will be a harsh croaking sound, sometimes intermingled with fragments of rap lyrics that they have overheard. They will smell like an open sewer, look like a road accident, and spread diseases we haven't even heard of yet. - inactive, on 04/03/2009, -0/+14The great Cthulhu is awakening.
- eastwood24, on 04/02/2009, -0/+14Well once we eat all the world's fish, at least we'll still have some squid.
- fr3nchwat3r, on 04/03/2009, -0/+13did anyone else think of the watchmen when they read the title?
- rabidrabit, on 04/03/2009, -0/+12Now if we could just teach them to bread themselves first...
- chrisduser, on 04/03/2009, -0/+11rAmen
- farboo, on 04/03/2009, -0/+9English can be clear if you want it to be: "exploding population of squid" vs "population of exploding squid."
- serif69, on 04/03/2009, -0/+9And herd themselves toward the Marinara Trench.
- BLyday, on 04/03/2009, -0/+9I read Exploding Squid and thought Watchmen
- inactive, on 04/03/2009, -1/+92012: SQUIDS
- inactive, on 04/03/2009, -0/+8Truly, the most delicious of oceanic chasms.
- hasslinthehoff, on 04/03/2009, -0/+8Fried or sauteed... it's all good.
- serif69, on 04/03/2009, -0/+7Exploding squid = automatic calamari
- xsecretfiles, on 04/03/2009, -0/+7Enough with the Octo-mom stories!!!!
This is not E! - kingofinternet, on 04/03/2009, -1/+8LAUNCH FIGHTERS!
- nmezib, on 04/03/2009, -0/+7And apparently, there is a quite a population of exploding squid
- seltaeb4, on 04/03/2009, -0/+6Ask not for whom the squid explodes; it explodes for thee.
- getoffmybridge, on 05/05/2009, -0/+5Sounds like a job for tempura
- V3n0M, on 04/03/2009, -0/+5Kikkoman!!
http://digg.com/d137Oz - amabaie, on 04/03/2009, -0/+5Say goodbye to whoopie cushions. Say hello to exploding squid!
- PRlME, on 04/03/2009, -0/+5This summer I will do my part and eat more calamari.
- UnFriendlyFire, on 04/03/2009, -0/+4Error 404 exploding squid joke not found.
- Loornadune, on 04/03/2009, -4/+8I thought the squid actually... exploded. Not that the POPULATION exploded. Misleading headline is misleading.
- jorisb, on 04/03/2009, -0/+4Really? Because it's a very common expression.
http://lmgtfy.com/?q=exploding+*+population - oboy, on 04/03/2009, -0/+4What is the current population of exploding squid? And where can I get one?
- DDRSkata, on 04/03/2009, -0/+4It's Adrian Veidt's fault.
- LordBalderdash, on 04/03/2009, -0/+4exploding squid - way cooler than sharks with laser beams
- inactive, on 04/03/2009, -0/+3We can eat them out of existence
- chadsexingtime, on 04/03/2009, -0/+3I would think that a population comprised of exploading squid would take care of themselves
- GlobalGizmo, on 04/02/2009, -0/+3Love the pictures in the article. Those are some giant squid.
- cosmotic, on 04/03/2009, -0/+3Which is exploding, the squid or the population?
- inactive, on 04/03/2009, -1/+4They're fighting back... *****!
- inactive, on 04/03/2009, -0/+3Eight six seven five three oh nigh-e-ine!
- inactive, on 04/03/2009, -0/+3If you want to see the discovery channel documentary on the humbolt squid check here
http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/4577881/%5BDSC%5D_ ... - oilcan, on 04/03/2009, -0/+3I knew an exploding squid once. He was a mess.
- supaklaw, on 04/03/2009, -0/+3Nuke 'em from orbit.
- NapalmKetchup, on 04/03/2009, -0/+3I have gone fishing for these animals, and they put up a fight. Word to the wise the 2 gallons of sea water they spray also is mixed in with ink. Wear clothes you don't care about.
- Greengoo, on 04/03/2009, -0/+3This title is so goddamn misleading. I came here hoping to hear about the populations of Exploding Squid.
- supaklaw, on 04/03/2009, -0/+3Humboldts are badass. Think great white shark that hunt in packs with the speed of a jet engine, ability to communicate with light, dive to insane depths.
- octopusorgans, on 04/03/2009, -1/+4angusm, i love you.
- matty22, on 04/03/2009, -0/+3I totally thought I was going to see pictures of squid that spontaneously combusted...epic fail
- CynicalTyler, on 04/03/2009, -0/+2"Fact is, no matter how much the Humboldt squid eats, the guys with the fishing poles are still at the top of the food chain."
I smell Pulitzer! - sndream, on 04/03/2009, -0/+2Exploding squid isn't the only animial that have a population problem and threaten the ecosystem.
- kareemachan, on 04/03/2009, -0/+2Wait til PETA hears about this. And if fish are sea kittens, what are squid?
- crescentfreshld, on 04/03/2009, -1/+3I for one welcome our squid overlords.
- osok, on 04/03/2009, -0/+2MMMM calamari..
om nom nom drool... -
