    Mugged By Squid

    Something grabbed me from behind and for a moment I could feel water rushing by as I was pulled back and down. I twisted around and saw the squid that had grabbed me rush away. I'd been pulled down about ten feet. I swam back up to thirty feet and neutralized my buoyancy. I didn't take the time to consider what might have happened if the squid hadn't let go, or if more than one squid had grabbed me, or if a really big one had...

    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    Hello

    I saw a documentary on the SciFi channel where this huge squid grabbed a submarine. Everyone would have been killed, but this big ass shark came along and attacked the squid. Everybody lived. Whew, that was a close one.

    On Voyage To The Bottom Of The Sea, they just zapped the squid with that hull zapper thingy that all submarines have.
