Has anyone done the math on how much sauce you would need for that amount of calamari? I'm assuming you split the dipping sauces evenly between mustard, tartar and some form of chili sauce just to keep everyone happy Smile

Careful there! Any such equation that fails to take wasabi into account will clearly result in erroneous results!!! Surprised Cool

So...

According to the article, these are the facts:

Larger than giant squid, colossal squid range from 40-65 feet long.
The recently caught specimen is the largest colossal squid ever caught.
The recently caught specimen is 33 feet long.

Confused

I'm guessing New Zeeland scientists are too smart for their own good, eh?

There is also a chart where you can see a Giant squid at 18 metres, and a Colossal squid that looks even bigger.
What's the foot/meter ratio in New Zeeland?
Perhaps the REAL news here would be "Bigfoot discovered in New Zeeland!" Rolling Eyes

Clearly what's happened is that the squid is SO big, it's resulted in an integer overflow in their ruler.
