You know what I love most about these posts where some new amazing discovery like 'Scientists discover photographic proof of Abominable Snowman!' and 'World's biggest squid has beachball sized eyes!' and 'Giant underground city of gold discovered in Peru!'?

No, really, you know what I love most about them?

No pictures.

The squid's lower beak measures around 40 centimetres across, while other beaks have been found -- usually in the stomach of predator sperm whales -- measuring up to 49 centimetres.
and
O'Shea said it is possible that colossal squid (Mesonychoteuthis hamiltoni) may grow to up to 750 kilograms . . .

A while back I read that whalers reported that some sperm whales bore sucker marks that were as big as dinner plates. Scientists extrapolated the length but I forgot how big their estimate was. In any event, I wouldn't want to be in the water when one of those things got near the surface (think chunks of bread in a goldfish pond).
