Sea monsters do exist
By Dana Edwards
Guest Writer

Tsunemi Kubodera,
a Japanese scientist, has
successfully photographed
a creature thought only to
exist in folklore.
In early December,
Kubodera and his team
brought the giant squid into
the limelight, and straight
out of the pages of a Jules
Verne novel, according to
AOL.com.
While the giant squid
has had a recent revival in
interest, the creature has
its’ roots planted firmly in
history. Hollywood has
also done an exceptional
job adding glamour to what
would have only been a
gooey mass of tentacles.
The recent movie “Pirates of
the Caribbean: Dead Man’s
Chest” manages to include
epic fight scenes with the
Kraken, a giant squid.
So now that the
creature is photographed,
and therefore indisputably
exists, how has it managed
to live hundreds of years
without much human
interaction? As for the life
of a giant squid, AOL.com
writes, “giant squid can
grow up to 60 feet long, but
according to scientists they
are unlikely to pose a threat
to ships because they spend
their lives hundreds of
different types of beer.
Parelli's has always
maintained a hometown bar
atmosphere and will continue
to do so in 2007. In addition to
gcx)d hx xl, Parell i’salso features
live music on Wednesday
nights by various local artists.
Waggoner is currently planning
more nightly events like trivia
on Mondays aid 35 cent
wings on Thursdays. And of
course college students always
receive 10% off their purchase
with a college ID.
This change at Parelli's
should set it apart from most
of the other bars in Carrollton.

The 25 foot giant squid resists capture deep below the sur
face
meters under the sea.” This
is the reason the creatures
have not been spotted by
people other than sailors.
Even so, the creature
scientists photographed
was an estimated 25 feet
long, floating on the surface
of the water.
Whether lured by bait or
not, the idea of a giant squid
coming to the surface of the
ocean is pretty significant.
This means that witnesses
from centuries ago claiming
to see the creature were not
constructing stories, not
telling lies. Sailors’ tales of
squid attacking their ships,
even plucking men off the
deck with their massive
tentacles, suddenly have
credibility. In the grand
scheme of history, this is
groundbreaking. Now that
the myth of the giant squid
is proven, perhaps unicorns
and elves, even Santa Claus
Most of the bars in Carrollton
serve only domestic beer
on draft. Only a handful of
Carrollton’s bars actually
carry a huger variety of beer
in addition to Parelli’s.
Waggoner and his
father have owned Parelli’s
for almost a year when they
purchased Parelli’s from the
Craig Davidson estate sale in
2(X)6. Waggoner graduated
from the University of West
Georgia in 2005 with a
double major in business ;uid
sports management. He has
been working and managing
restaurants for most of his life.
himself are next in line to
be discovered. Whatever
the case, this scientific,
historical, even social
development changes the
face of legends.
The discovery of giant
squid has undoubtedly made
scientists around the world
think twice. While many
people credit Jules Verne
and “Twenty Thousand
Leagues Under the Sea,”
with the popularization
of the creatures, now
Kubodera and his team with
be credited with bringing
them to life. Opening the
door for thousands of new
possibilities, Kubodera
is surely going down in
history books. He proved
to the world that there is
more to a myth than meets
the eye, even a giant,
unwavering, glossy eye,
thousands of feet under the
surface of the ocean.
