an even more giant squid

And you thought that squid caught off antartica was huge?

Killer squid found living in Chicago River
By Matt Maldre, freelance reporter
4/3/2003

Immediately after the news of the Colossal Squid found in the sub-Antarctic Ross Sea, an even larger squid was found arising from the Chicago River this afternoon. "It rose out of the river like a skyscraper!" an eyewitness exclaimed.

We don't know how this squid managed to hide itself in the relatively small body of water, but one rumor holds that this SUPER-KILLER-MONSTER-SQUID got jealous once it heard of this seemingling "monster squid" was found.

Phone calls to the mighty morphin power rangers were not answered, rising questions of who shall defeat such a creature. Many chicagoans believe that we should just let it live and become the mascot of our city.
View the rare photo of this squid's rising. Notice the boats trying to escape its wrath!
Idea inspired on by Dynamite Dave

As long as the squid is not harming anyone, let it live and swirl its tenticles around gleefully for the joy of all.

Rumor on the street is that this squid started off as someone's pet.

HOLLY CRAP! that's one BIG squid! Is it really rising upside-down? Since when did squids do THAT?! That's just freaky! Are you SURE it's not a robot? It's a good thing it's tentacles or whatever they're called aren't any longer! Does it bite? I think it's kinda cute... I want it as a pet... :)
