Colossal Cephalopod

Wired.com has pictures of the dissection that has been much anticipated across the science blogs of late:

Scientists at the national museum of New Zealand, Te Papa, have recently completed dissections of several enormous squids, including pieces of a colossal squid -- the largest invertebrate ever caught. The female specimen weighs more than 1,000 pounds and measures 26 feet long.
That's a lot of calamari, folks. Check out the pictures here.
