Why can't we have sea creatures like this today? Sea travel would be much more adventurous. You could wake up one morning and read about the American Submarine that had a bite taken out of it by a monsterous shark.

*sigh* Oh well. I guess we have to make due with Giant Squids.

"pretends to be a giant mouse".
You mean you are not a mouse?

At what point did I give you the impression I was mentally well? I DO watch Beat the Geeks everyday. That alone guarantees a reservation in the funny farm.

You'd never hear about that - even if the sub somehow made it back to the surface, the government that controlled it would never admit one of its subs was taken out by wildlife.

Next we will see headlines that some sharks eats some kids replaying what they saw on TV.

Plain silly
Ah yes, idiot week.
