Colossal Squid

Believed to be the largest known invertebrate, make the Colossal Squid a giant in terms of the other species of its family. The Colossal Squid was discovered and then inevitably named in the annum 1925 by the British Zoologist Guy Coburn Robson who named it M. Hamiltoni under the genus of Mesonychoteuthis.

The span in length of the Colossal Squid is estimated between the range of twelve and fourteen meters though a full sized Colossal Squid hasn’t as yet been found. The estimate of the squid was based on under developed squids of the same species by predicting their full growth span according to their growth cycle and the age they were at when observed.

The Colossal Squid has its variation when it comes to the tentacles as compared to the giant squid. The Colossal Squid has sharp hooks, some of them with three points while others which swivel, evolution, you might think from the giant squid whose tentacles only have little suckers engrained with small teeth.

The Colossal Squid has a bigger head than the giant squid but falls short on its tentacles which are measured to be shorter than those of the giant squid. These proportions significantly increase the overall weight of the Colossal Squid which also has the largest eyes ever to be witnessed in the animal kingdom apart from having a beak that reveals its abyssal gigantism.

The Colossal Squid is known to inhabit the Southern Ocean where it has been spotted in the waters between Antarctica and South America and then between New Zealand and the bottom tip of South Africa.

Congratulations to Ryan Bingham, T Bone Burnett, Jeff Bridges

Congrats to Jeff Bridges (Best Actor) and Ryan Bingham and T Bone Burnett (Best Original Song) on their well-deserved Oscar wins earlier tonight.

The obvious thing would probably be to post “The Weary Kind,” but I kind of like the idea that Ryan Bingham has recorded more than the two songs on the Crazy Heart soundtrack, so here’s the music video for “Country Roads” instead.

In quotes: Michael Foot in his own words

Former Labour leader Michael Foot has died at the age of 96 years. Renowned for his passionate and erudite speeches, he was also a prolific journalist and writer. Here is a selection of some of his most memorable quotations.

Is the Labour Party to remain a democratic party in which the right of free criticism and free debate is not merely tolerated but encouraged? Or are the rank and file of the party to be bludgeoned or cowed into an uncritical subservience towards the leadership?" Writing in Tribune, 1954.

"Socialism without public ownership is nothing but a fantastic apology." Writing in the Daily Herald, 1956. A Britain which denounced the insanity of the nuclear strategy would be in a position to direct its influence at the United Nations and in the world at large, in a manner at present denied us." Newspaper article, 1960.

Susan Dey - Partridge Family on Today Show

NBC's The Today Show features another "big family" in its "Great the TV Families reunited" series. This morning, its the The Partridge Family, with the cast of the popular television families reuniting after several decades. But where's Susan Dey?

Susan Dey (not Susan Day), isn't joining the rest of her former castmates as the Partridge Family reunites.

Susan Dey has had, at least in public, a personal life free of the problems that so often plague child stars.

Dey was a big television star (and the object of adolescent lust) during her run as Laurie Partridge and then went on to even bigger stardom in her role as Judge Grace Van Owen on the 1980's hit drama LA Law. While Dey was a popular figure among the boys (and girls) while on The Partridge Family, her role on LA Law made her a darling of the critics.

After her run on LA Law ended in the early 1990's, however, Dey has maintained a relatively low profile. Dey's most recent television role, in fact, came in 2004 when she appeared on two episodes of Third Watch.

For a star who bridged two eras, and did it brilliantly, and for one who seemed to live a scandal free personal life, Susan Dey was an actress that seemed poised to continue acting forever. Beautiful, talented, and even blessed with a show business name, Dey had 'sure thing' written all over her. The fact that she has had no major roles since the demise of LA Law is one of the great mysteries of modern entertainment.

It could be that Susan Dey decided to duck out of the limelight to enjoy life with her husband. It could be that she just got tired of the business. It could be that the offers did not come the way most assumed that they would.
