caldigger Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 A fun party game would be to line up a few of those jars and have your blindfolded guests attempt to guess what they are tasting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The giant squid is amazing The squid was found in the Falkland Islands by some fishermen. It was gifted to the museum and in return when it was housed probably the museum payed for the fisherman and their family’s to visit the squid again. It is incredible and it was going on general public display in a gallery in the museum but when they did a health and safety check it was to heavy for the flooring . So it has to stay with the pickle jars . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramo Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 I remember seeing a very similar giant squid either at the Smithsonian, or the Chicago Field Museum I can't remember which one for certain. It would have probably been 8-10 years ago. For one species to mourn the death of another is a new thing under the sun. -Aldo Leopold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
