Subjects are entirely unrelated. ;-)
I read the autism post and watched the video after coming across a mention on Ottmar Leibert's blog, and then saw the squid story on a most-emailed list on the same site (which I've now added to Google Reader).
The autism story is one of those things that jarred me. Her commentary in the video made some good points.
"There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, Than are dreamt of in your philosophy."
Indeed. I of all people should know that.
On to large cephalapods. The colossal squid story is fascinating. The comments are interesting, especially the "killjoy" one.
Update: more on Mesonychoteuthis hamiltoni here on the BBC website.
The BBC also have a related story with video about how another large squid species - Taningia danae - flashes light when it attacks. Amazing stuff.
Finally, the premier online reference for all things cephalopod seems to be TONMO.
Calimari will never be the same...
