Here There Be Monsters

Yes, I know the whole giant squid thing is already old news (but have you heard about their sex life?). Calamari jokes have been made and the pop-culture irony of Japanese scientists finding a huge monster has already been pointed out. But I love the idea of undiscovered creatures so this is the perfect time to remind everyone of the wonderful field of cryptozoology. I just feel better about the world when I know that obsessive men in pith helmets actually are trekking through the jungles in search of dinosaurs. There is even a list of the major quests underway. It's a fantastic world out there.

Speaking of newly discovered creatures, check out the Google ant.
