    It’s an omen!

    First, California is hit with a small earthquake (that never happens, does it?) and then…the squid appear.

    Ia! Ia! Cthulhu fhtagn!

    It’s sweet how the Californians try to throw them back in the sea. Have they no knives, no garlic, no pans with hot oil? Because if the squid did, we know what they’d do.

    Charles Darwin vs. a giant squid

    Awesome.

    i-605585877531915074997edc09b3f16e-darwin_squid.jpeg

    Note, however, that it reiterates that odd theme of one-eyed squid that we see all over the place.
