Colossal Squid, big peepers

Saw a second of this on the tele and today found the nytimes article. It has the biggest eyes of any animal ever found on earth, measuring in at 11 inches across, or, as the article put it, bigger than an average dinner plate. Oh, and apparently they use the term Colossal Squid now? I guess thats cool.
