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.

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. jjL Y SOl/l) STR!>:i ■ f -■ Ci\ jtll?
