Squids can fly!
« on: April 26, 2014, 02:33:09 AM »
Take a look at this interesting article from National Geographic. I think I lost a few sanity points just reading it.

I have a friend who has an odd fear of squid.  I wonder if I should send this to him.

I have a fear of jellyfish, which I think is entirely justified. The things are completely brainless and will just randomly sting you for no reason whatsoever, other than the fact that you happen to be in the way when the tide washes them into you. Also, why do they always manage to follow me when I swim away from them?

Of COURSE you should.

Need you even ask?

Judging from the response when I posted a video of flying snakes on Facebook once, I cannot encourage you enough :D
