Public dissection of a giant squid

This is a long streaming video, so you might want to save it for something to watch over lunch. Mark Norman takes a giant squid apart at the Melbourne Museum.

Ooooo the suspense! Will it be filled with an explosion of candy pieces or a creamy nougat center??

Can't wait until lunch. I'm eating a "raw calamari omelet" (whatever that is), so I'll watch it now. thankx.

Hah, maybe chili dogs were not the best things for me to have for lunch today.

Squid dissection? Over lunch? Interesting concept though I usually listen to MPR and sometimes even that makes me queasy. :\

Currently downloading for later viewing... it's taking even longer than the "Starcraft 2" preview. I hope I can finish the download before I zip down to work. I'll watch it while eating some ceviche.

I am still amazed that the guy who wrote those "Gor" books is a marine biologist...

This here bureaucrat does NOT watch dissection videos during lunch (90s era Eddie Vedder videos, yes).

They showed a small segment of it on TV. I was really surprised but then I realised it was SBS.
