#1 Here's an alternate method via Joel at The Stupid Shall be Punished.
"In 2003, New Zealand marine biologists laid a sex trap.
"They ground up some squid gonads, believing that the scent would drive male giant squids wild as the creatures migrated through New Zealand waters.
"The hope was that a camera would squirt out the pureed genitals and a passing squid, driven into a sexual frenzy, would then mate with the lens -- a project that, some may be relieved to hear, never came to fruition."

#5 On the page under images of giant sea squid there is a " Video" button.

#9 Sorry, I don't eat bait. Squid was a favorite bait on the fishing trips I used to take out of Destin, Florida.

#11 That two-frame 'video' of the "Feirce Predator From The Depths Of Our Oceans" kinda reminds me of something else.

#12 Oh and Fred, I once caught my brother fishing for Bluefish with fresh Squid. Sheesh!

Pearls before swine, or something like that.

I meant that the "video" is a video full of pictures. I wanna see the squiddly diddly on tape - moving. Not frame grabs. :)
