While the story is intresting, I'm skeptical that these french sailors were taking part in the Jules Verne Trophy. A bit too convienent methinks.

Maybe it was an ad campaign by TurboSquid for new meshes.

I wonder if they have intelligence of some type... squid (smaller varieties) are relatively smart... I was watching a doco and it showed how put in a maze the squid could activate levers to get through doors etc. or something to that effect.

Cool: smart giant squids. Mabye they were attacking the french racers to avenge their good name: it was the Jules Verne Trophy race after all.

So there is no proof. No photos. Just a bunch of French in a boat. Hmmmm.....

Oh, gosh, maybe it's just me, but anyone would think you lot had something against the French, I can't possibly imagine what. . .

"The" China? So two billion chinese share some kind of collective mind?

Too bad the only live giant squids ever captured were babies and died. I'd love to one day bring my kids to a zoo and watch the bus-long squids do whatever it is they do. Maybe they can teach them to open giant jars, eh?
