Seriously though, at 58 I can vouch for living a life that contains 'infantile humour'; I think due to having some mental health issues, a sense of humour has always been on the outside of myself, so I DON'T have to deal with what is going on inside.

    As soon as we changed from sail to noisy engine-driven seagoing vessels, the sightings of large unidentified sea creatures started to dwindle. I think the noise from the engines scares them off. That and the sheer volume of traffic combined with all the modern-day pollutants wouldn't have helped either.

    When you mentioned whales I thought about that whale that washed up on the shores of Oregon in 1970 and the attempts of the locals to dispose of it. Apparently, possessing a hillbilly IQ, some state official figured packing the whale full of dynamite would be a good idea and everyone went along with it. To top things off a bunch of people went down to the beach to watch. Things did not go well. It's well worth doing a video of this and I believe the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation sent a reporter to cover it and apparently the blown up whale covered him and a lot more as well. Another example of natures way of pointing out the not so bright.

    Fun fact. It was thought in the past that giant squids could reach 40, or even 60 meters in length, based on the size of scars found on sperm whales. However, it is now understood that those large scars were made by normal size squids on juvenile whales, who then grew up to their adult size, correspondingly increasing the size of their scars.

Maybe a some million years ago at the same time as the Megalodon, there was a giant squid/octopus, that could reach like 50-60 meters, when oxygen and thereby food was higher in the oceans, but anything beyond that would simply be too inefficient and die from cold/starvation or not being able to pump the blood around.

    I think that Giant Squid is the most likely candidate on Kraken monster :D Squids can be pretty agressive, they fight with other predators (like sperm whales), they even attack people (even small ones can attack human if you're in the wrong place). They are clever enough to learn some behavior, so if there was very huge giant squid few centuries ago (it's possible without intensive fishing and polution like these days) and it maybe happened to be close when some ship sanked and fed on drowning people, so it learned that ships are great lunch boxes. So maybe it actually caused ships to sink, but it moved around most used ship trails in the ocean and fed on people who were unlucky and crashed with their ships. There was so much of ship transport around the world, battles on the sea, goods and food transportation, exploration, traveling and also fishing, so with this much traffic over many centuries is likely there were some animals who used it as oportunity to get easy meal.

    They're pretty damn huge, pink, look like tentacles and whales for some reason like to stick them out of the water...
    People probably found pieces of a collossal squids that fought a spermwhale and lost, either drifting in the ocean, or on the beach, pieced that together with sightings of whales, and just though "It must have been a giant creature with tentacles that was about to attack us!"

    Only one thing was missing, the story of that WWII British naval officer that got stranded on a raft with 3 shipmates. Only to be awaken by one of them being pulled down by a giant tentacle. Now that everyone was awake when the tentacle came back for 2nd they were able to fight it off. But not before leaving distinguishes scars on the officer. Photos exist of the officers many decades later still having the scars.

    A Turtle can confirm that the kraken does in fact exist

      @@FireStorm527 No, it's true. A sea turtle is sitting right next to me right now and they said the kraken is, in fact, real.
