I'm sorry for your loss. Where should we send flowers? Or would you prefer a donation to the "Save the Giant Squid" Foundation?

HOBART, Australia (AP) -- A squid as long as a bus and weighing 550 pounds washed up on an Australian beach, officials said Wednesday.
The giant squid was found by a beachcomber on the Australian island state of Tasmania.
"It is a whopper," said Genefor Walker-Smith, a zoologist who studies invertebrates at the Tasmanian Museum.
Giant squid live in waters off southern Australia and New Zealand -- where a half-ton colossus, believed to be the world's largest, was caught in February. They attract the sperm whales that feed on them.
The dead squid, measuring 3 feet across at its widest point and 26 feet from the tip of its body to the end of its tentacles, was found early Wednesday by a beachcomber at Ocean Beach on the island state of Tasmania's west coast, the museum said.
The squid was expected to be taken to the museum, where DNA and other scientific tests would be carried out before it is preserved and possibly put on public display.
For anyone thinking of a calamari feast, Walker-Smith said giant squid contain high levels of ammonia in their bodies as a buoyancy aid.
"It would not taste very nice at all," she said.
New Zealand fishermen netted a 1,100-pound, 33-foot-long squid in the Southern Ocean in February. It is widely believed to be the largest specimen of the rare and mysterious deep-water species Mesonychoteuthis hamiltoni, or colossal squid, ever caught.
Experts believe the creatures, which have long been one of the most mysterious denizens of the deep ocean, may grow even bigger -- up to 46-feet long.

good... i hope your mother gets found dead next
Can I have any leftover ink??
My pen's running out.
Fillmoe's Dad is gonna get angry at that comment.
Fillmoe! Why must you speak in this way? What if someone wished death upon your mother? May Krishna never allow that to happen.
Now get off the computer and finish cleaning your room! You still must clean out the vacuum cleaner from the last time I caught you masturbating with it.
Fillmoe!! What would you do if people wished I were dead? I pray to Vishnu that he punish you terribly so you can see the error of your ways.
God damn this is priceless!!!!
Do not worry, my dear, Fillmoe will learn in time. Have faith that he will change. Deep down he is a good boy who is simply lashing out for attention. Perhaps this weekend we can go to a cricket match together and have more family bonding time. May Brahman bring our son back to us as a mature young man. And fret not, his frequent, borderline obsessive masturbation habit is normal for a boy his age.
moms and pops need to step their funny game up......
They already have.
Fillmoe! Have you finished your daily Rigveda reading for today? If not, then get off of the damned computer and do your reading! And do not play your offensive African beats while reading the holy texts!
You are good parents, but Fillmoe needs more encouragement. I will help straighten him out.
