San Diego menaced by jumbo squid!

["Rob, grandpa of Ryan, Trevor, Devon & Hannah" <rMslade () shaw ca>]

Well, I just had to read a story with a title like that, eh?

Wonderful visions of something a block long using its tentacles to pick up 
elephants out of the Zoo!

Scuba divers off the Californian city of San Diego report unnerving encounters 
with large numbers of Humboldt squid.  

"The ones that we are getting right now have a big beak on them, like a large 
parrot beak," San Diego's Union-Tribune quoted John Hyde of the National 
Marine Fisheries Service as saying earlier in the week.

"They could take a chunk of flesh off you." 

What a let down.
