Something completely different. (Can Carcharodon megalodon be far behind)?

Look, it's Hillary Clinton on a table!

[sauropod]

Imagine the stir that would create!

Of course we could hope for a pack of Velociraptors

[sauropod]

Eeewwwwwwww!

[sauropod]

Sid Blumenthal ping!

[Archangelsk]

I wouldn't hope for that on my death bed. :-)

What's up with the Danny DeVito screenshot?

Thank you for ruining my dinner

[Texas dog]

Hmmm,

Loathsome, slimy, appalling habits, no backbone.

Has the DNC heard about this yet? Maybe the squid is available in 2004....

[headsonpikes]

Hold muh Tobasco alert!

[Monti Cello]

The specimen's mantle, or cylindrical body, measures 2.5m

Mmmmmm......that would take a hell of a deep-frier....15-foot calamari rings.

Something evil comes this way alert

I like your tagline...but wanted to make sure that Ray Bradbury ("The Illustrated Man",
etc., etc.) get the real credit.

A masterpiece of modern Gothic literature, Something Wicked This Way Comes
is the memorable story of two boys, James Nightshade and William Halloway,
and the evil that grips their small Midwestern town with the arrival of a
"dark carnival" one Autumn midnight.

Although I haven't heard him on the radio for a few years, Bradbury did show up
for The Los Angeles Times Festival of Books a while back.

Paging Peter Benchley......

Maybe the Air Force should drop that thing on Mohammeds son-in-laws mosque.

To truly give credit where it's due, give it to Billy Shakespeare, who penned it for one of the Weird Sisters in Macbeth.

[J. Semper Paratus]

IT'S A MAN, BABY!!!

...And look at that hideous hook used to sneer at her prey...

[GovernmentShrinker]

This monster apparently has only one natural predator. We must NOT allow that predator's population to be decimated, unless we're prepared to have these things overrunning the world's oceans, eating everything in sight (like deer in much of the U.S.).

Thanks for the tip.
My only (lame) excuse is a late Sixties/early Seventies public school education...
too much short story and "contemporary literature"...not enough of
The Classics.

But thank heavens I didn't go to an Ivy League school or I'd have been totally ruined!
