Or am i wrong on that one?.....it does look a little tooooo pink for my liking, but hey...not all humans are the same shade...are we?!...so i suppose, the colossal squid can be different shades too...right?!

They don't need to put "fake" pictures on websites or someone(like me) will print it out and show it to the class. These people are so immature (bill) trying to influence people to believe that this thing is real. like my name, people need to grow up and GET A LIFE!!!!!!!

I mean come on the mouth is all wrong there should be a beak there and the color is way to bright the giant squids color is more whitish pink than actual pink.

Just go to google images and you will see Giant Squid and it's bigger counterpart the Colossal Squid.

Also, if you saw it in the context of the article that it was in, you might believe it yourself - there were some really weird creatures - a frog with skin enough for an elephant (ok, slight exaggeration), a sea creature that attached itself to the roots of other fishes tonges, and then BECAME THEIR TONGUE, and more such horrors. It was the stuff of nightmares I tell thee. I think my belief that it was real was really a desire for it to be real, and also my naive trust in the guardian for always telling me the truth.

Second point: colossal squid, Mesonychoteuthis hamiltoni, are not the same as the currently newsworthy giant squid, Architeuthis dux. see http://www.tonmo.com/science/public/giantsquidfacts.php Two small points:
