Friday Squid Blogging: Neon Flying Squid

science

Per Schneier on Security, researchers off the coast of Japan observed a shoal of roughly one hundred neon flying squid rise from the Pacific about three hundred seventy miles from Tokyo. Schneier on Security reports the squid, part of a twenty strong family known for leaping, used a jet of water from a funnel like muscle to glide near the vessel for roughly thirty metres, with their ten limbs splayed outward. As Schneier on Security tells it, you can also use this squid post to talk about the security stories in the news that I haven’t covered.
