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.”

Reminds me of an old Gilligan's Island

Fortunately, my wife is not requesting or seeking any “radioactive gigantism”. We are still married and working on Y33.

I don't think it has been long enough since the Fukushima disaster for an oarfish to grow that big.

The original King Kong was 50 ft tall, Godzilla was ~400 feet tall. If the movie King KOng vs Godzilla was made using the orignial scales, that fight would have been over quick.

Don’t mind me. I’m just here for all the Godzilla references.

You are all laughing and having fun with this now. But you won’t be laughing when one of these creatures shows up where you live.

Anybody up for some Calamari?

Well, then you don't want to look at this picture of one of the Fukishima bananas that washed ashore in San Francisco.

I’m hoping for Godzilla!

PING!

At least these giant sea creatures aren't WALKING ashore.

History shows again and again how nature points out the folly of man.....

Whoah-oh! They say he's got to go...

I suggest folks go to the website and click on some of the other headings. Someone sure has a lot of spare time on their hands. Some of the articles are a real hoot.
