Big blob baffles boffins July 2 2003
Chilean scientists were baffled today by a huge, gelatinous sea creature found washed up on the southern Pacific coast and were seeking international help identifying the mystery specimen.
The dead creature was mistaken for a beached whale when first reported about a week ago, but experts who went to see it said the 40-foot-long (12-metre) mass of decomposing lumpy grey flesh apparently was an invertebrate.
"We'd never before seen such a strange specimen, We don't know if it might be a giant squid that is missing some of its parts or maybe it's a new species," said Elsa Cabrera, a marine biologist and director of the Centre for Cetacean Conservation in Santiago.

Are the Democrats missing one of the presidential candidates? You must have overlooked this part:
...apparently was an invertebrate.
You see, it had to be a Republican.

Isn't Chile the place where Chupucabra supposed to hang out, as well as a certain un-named critter that is supposed to look like afootbal with legs wings and a pig snout?
Where's Ted Kennedy been lately?

:-) Better late than never.
I was doing a search (Google/Yahoo) on Hillary Squid and this was a thread that popped up. Felt obligated to finish the job.
