Blimey: almost three minutes of odd entertainment are on tap as a group of English persons move, fondle, probe, and otherwise prepare a giant squid to go on display at Britain's Natural History Museum. As described on their page, the beastie in question is an Architeuthis dux, and it's 8.62 metres long (about 28 feet).
The animal is originally from the Falkland Islands, and our sources reveal that Argentina is reportedly considering miltary action against the museum. Other questions to ponder are, of course, why one of the Squid Experts has bright dyed red hair. Could someone who would do something like that be in any way qualified to perform this delicate, specialist task? And, why does this whole video look like something from a Monty Python or Benny Hill sketch? And, wouldn't it be even better with an Art of Noise soundtrack?
