That was pretty interesting. The way it can fold itself up and those blue lights are really freaky.

Colossal squid have barbed hooks on their tentacles. But unless you swim regularily in the Antarctic Sea, you won't ever see them

Naw, I've eaten Sushi many times and I haven't been sick. But I live by the coast, so my fish is fresh. I wouldn't eat Sushi if I lived in say, Las Vegas.

Fish tapeworm is only in freshwater fish. I'm safe

Actually, tapeworms seem a lot scarier than those vampire squid. At least you can see if you're in danger, can't tell with tapeworms.

On another note, the Candiru still scares the bejeezus outta me
