Great excitement for this mysterious marvel of nature.

Unfortunately, the video isn't available for awhile. Discovery Channel quote:

"Mankind finally confronts the greatest mystery of the deep as the first-ever footage of a live giant squid in its natural habitat is revealed in Discovery Channel’s Monster Squid: The Giant Is Real, which premieres on Sunday, January 27, 2013 at 10/9c as the season finale of Curiosity. NHK will air their special on the first-ever footage of the giant squid in early January 2013."

Thanks, Michael. I better mark my calendar.

A little bit off topic, but the portrayal of a "kraken" in Michael Crichton's "Pirate Latitudes" is really neat, as are the period medical/science factoids and portrayals that he sprinkles throughout the book (as with all of his books). This was the last complete novel that Michael Crichton wrote before his death--check it out if you're a Crichton fan!

Thanks, Leonardo.
