I'm stuffed!

And that was a Humboldt squid, a juvenile Humboldt squid, about three feet long.

Starving the Squid

How many arms does a squid have?

I want to eat squid this evening.

And then, we don't have a stuffed Spinoza, but we do have a stuffed Pavlov's dog, and I visited him in the Museum of Hygiene in St. Petersburg, in Russia.

One woman said she bought a stuffed animal for her niece.

Edith Widder How we found the giant squid

It was Mike that got me invited to the squid summit, a gathering of squid experts at the Discovery Channel that summer during Shark Week.

You can't get the suitcase closed because you've stuffed too much into it.

In the next bit, we're going to see a couple squid.

What was not mentioned in the Discovery documentary was that the bait squid that Dr. Kubodera used, a one meter long diamondback squid had a light attached to it, a squid jig of the type that longline fishermen use, and I think it was this light that brought the giant in.

The varieties landed are tuna, bonito, mackerel, squid, shark, lobster and shrimp.

What they do is they dress up as stuffed animals and entertain people at sporting events.

1.5 million people stuffed into mud or metal huts with no services, no toilets, no rights.

So good interpretation is more about things that are bodged and stuffed and of my world, right?

So, imagine a great white shark and a giant squid in the same bathroom.

These are squid. Now males, when they fight, if they're really aggressive, they turn white.

This little squid is called the fire shooter because of its ability to do this.

Again, another plug for the animals in the ocean, Vibrio fischeri lives in this squid.

I do not want my house to be walled in on all sides and my windows to be stuffed.

Bingo! Now I'm told that's not just a squid phenomenon with males, but I don't know.

In researching the book, which includes recipes, Ms. Ziegelman prepared a period dish of baked onion stuffed with peanut butter.

The only thing I had to do was go out, pick them up, and have them stuffed for the collection.

I got invited to speak to the people who dress up in big stuffed animal costumes to perform at sporting events.

This is something that my people at SQUID Labs are working on at the moment, called electronic rope.

The reason the squid is willing to put up with these shenanigans is because it wants that light.

Humankind has been looking for the giant squid since we first started taking pictures underwater. But the elusive deep sea predator could never be caught on film. Oceanographer and inventor Edith Widder shares the key insight and the teamwork that helped to capture the squid on film for the first time.

What the squid has developed is a shutter that can open and close over this specialized light organ housing the bacteria.

You hear about giant squid and things like that, but some of these animals get up to be approximately 140, 160 feet long.

For example, this shrimp releases its bioluminescent chemicals into the water just the way a squid or an octopus would release an ink cloud.

A lot of them can release their luciferin or luferase in the water just the way a squid or an octopus will release an ink cloud.

The way that this symbiosis works is that this little squid lives just off the coast of Hawaii, just in sort of shallow knee deep water.

And as the day goes by the bacteria double, they release the molecule, and then light comes on at night, exactly when the squid wants it.

I gave a talk on unobtrusive viewing and optical luring of deep sea squid in which I emphasized the importance of using quiet, unobtrusive platforms for exploration.

The squid is nocturnal, so during the day it buries itself in the sand and sleeps, but then at night it has to come out to hunt.

But then if you think about it, the squid has this terrible problem because it's got this dying, thick culture of bacteria and it can't sustain that.

Now the bacteria are dilute, that little hormone molecule is gone, so they're not making light but of course the squid doesn't care. It's asleep in the sand.

In this prophetic 2003 talk just days before Dolly the sheep was stuffed biotech ethicist Gregory Stock looked forward to new, more meaningful technologies, like customizable babies, whose adoption might drive human evolution.

And there are a lot of different animals that can do this There's jellyfish, there's squid, there's a whole lot of different crustaceans, there's even fish that can do this.

On bright nights when there is lots of starlight or moonlight that light can penetrate the depth of the water the squid lives in, since it's just in those couple feet of water.

Finally, Europe needs coherent bank regulation. One reason the Greek crisis is so difficult is that European banks are undercapitalized, overleveraged, and stuffed full of Greek bonds, thereby ruling out the possibility of restructuring and thus lightening Greece s debt load.

Eighty six seconds after it went into its pinwheel display, we recorded this This is a squid, over six feet long, that is so new to science, it cannot be placed in any known scientific family.

In the US, chicken meat is washed in chlorinated water in Europe, chickens are stuffed with antibiotics while alive. In an effort that can be described only as absurd, European producers are attempting to convince their customers that the former method is worse for consumers.

Orbán s remarks, and his subsequent announcement of plans to implement his vision of an illiberal state, were greeted with shock. How could he profess such views as the leader of a European Union member state, even as he stuffed his government s coffers with EU subsidies?
