Meaningless Coincidences

Well, yesterday at the math center I was rambling about a giant octopus. Then I got home and found out someone had finally observed a live giant squid. Pretty cool. They've been trying to see one of these guys alive for many years.

Wait, you mean the giant squid in the Disney version of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea wasn't real? My whole concept of reality is crushed...

I haven't seen that... I've seen some really old movie footage where the actors had to make the squid move. Was the lake creature outside Moria in Fellowship of the Ring supposed to be a giant squid? That's what it looked like to me, but I don't remember what the book said.

I don't think the book named it, but the movie definately portrayed it as such.
