For the second time in recent months, a giant sea creature has washed ashore in California. First it was a rare oarfish that had grown to a freakish 100-foot length. This time it was a giant squid measuring a whopping 160 feet from head to tentacle tip.

These giants look different but experts believe they share one important commonality: they both come from the waters near the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant in the Futaba District of Japan.

Scientists believe that following the 2011 disaster at the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant an unknown number of sea creatures suffered genetic mutations that triggered uncontrolled growth – or “radioactive gigantism.”

HECK, A 160 FT SQUID WOULD MAKE ONE HELL OF A DISH OF CALIMARI!............

Perhaps as the radiation has sunk deeper into the ocean, it has caused these deep-sea denizens to surface, seeking a healthier environment?

Did anyone see the Nautilus in the area?

Giant squid concentrate ammonia in their tissues, which is why they are inedible, except to sperm whales.

Darn! Do you have a plan B”?
