WOW!

 

[Matt_Wandell]

Crazy! But that graphic is super misleading...the whale in its jaws would have to be the world's most dwarfy baleen whale. Or a baby!

 

[Thales]

Cool but

While the sperm whale is a relatively passive animal, sucking in squid from the depths of the ocean, Leviathan was an aggressive predator

Cause giant squid don't fight back?

 

[bookfish]

Right, that's why NO sperm whales have ANY scars from squid battles. But it must be true 'cause it was on the interwebs!

Haven't you heard of the Emo Squid?

 

[tuberider]

All of the squid I've ever eaten were relatively easy to get into my mouth, not much of a struggle really...

Why did Ahab ever fear that passive Moby Dick character? He should have given him a hug instead!

same here No real struggle :lol:

It can be struggle sometimes: to dip into sauce, or stick with just lemon? Difficult.

 

[tuberider]

True, if the squid is being a dick I go with the lemon, if it surrenders, sauce, of course!

 

[h20player101]

A fine ending to a gentle squid. It's how he would have wanted it.

 

[Ibn]

I actually want to try the Korean live squid dish...

 

[tuberider]

I hear they stick to your tongue...

 

[Ibn]

Also heard that they really don't taste like much other than the sauce they're dipped in. Still want to try it though.

ditto and why I never went any further with it
