Half squid, half octopus

So I ran across this story of a half-squid, half octopus... my father-in-law used to work at this facility some time ago - I can't wait to ask him about it (the deep sea pipes, not the octosquid). The pictures are kind of interesting - on par with the Chupacabra of south-central Texas. I'm all for new species - especially the odd ones.

For some reason, it gives me a lot of hope to know that there are unknown mysteries of the deep still out there. Like giant squids, or Octosquids... or other creepy slimy creatures...

Of course, I feel just a little bad that we oblly find them because we suck them into filters, or catch them in giant nets... but at least there is a little unknown out there.
