Kraken

The museum of New Zealand Te Papa has been thawing and preparing the dissection of a colossal squid. And they are kind enough to share it with the world through live and retransmitted web casts and a most excellent blog with brief and fascinating synopses of their work. Reading and watching this really puts the imagination to work and gives a bit of new perspective on that time they made us read "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea" in high school. This is my favorite way to kill time right now.
