Man, that thing is huge! So, apparently squid are ranked like shrimp: Colossal> Giant> Jumbo> Large> Medium> Salad?

"I think Chichijima was the island where the Japanese slaughtered our prisoners of war. George HW Bush was trying to bomb that island, if I recall."
You are correct. Well documented in the book "Flyboys" by James Bradley, who also wrote "Flags of Our Fathers."

Already been posted, but still pingworthy. Unfortunately, there is a little sadness at seeing another great mystery planet Earth had to offer being uncovered.
