I was recently at a museum in Adelaide, Australia, which featured a scale giant squid exhibit. Story goes the museum cleared out a shaft for a new elevator but apparently the British manufacturers made a sizing mistake and an entirely new shaft and elevator had to be made, the question being what to do with the old one. Apparently a friend of the museum just happened to have a giant squid model on hand and donated it. The entire display stands at a length of four stories. Imagine that, coming to the ground floor and seeing the ends of the longest tentacles. You walk up three stories and you still haven't even reached the full height. Then imagine literally running into one of those incredibly long tentacles at ocean depths far beyond the faintest traces of sunlight. Terrifying.
