Surely we must be able to tie global warming to this -- call the UN, call somebody!

BUT I DON'T LIKE SQUID!
"Cosgrove thinks it's another sign of global warming. He suspects .. (they) .. became 'disoriented' and couldn't function when hitting patches of cool water, but isn't sure because thousands of the jumbo squid also washed up on warm southern California shores earlier this year."
I find it amusing that the experts are not sure of the reason, so they automatically point the blame at global warming. The above sentence shows the absurdity in their reasoning.

Insom, is that P. Diddy reference or a Babe Winkleman reference?

Every bit as charming as the swallows of Capistrano.

apparently some people try to catch them on purpose? Not me. I never try to consume sushi when it looks like the outcome could end up the reverse...

Sport fishers have to release the squid unless they catch them with a cast net or by jigging.
What an exhausting way to catch fish. I'm surprised it's caught on at all.

"Tentacle Dance" and "Lord of the Squid" would be good names for jigging fishermen.

Thank you Dave. I had just started my diet but because of the likes of you now all I can think of is calamari.
