Can Sponge Bob Be Far Behind?

Fark linked up this local Washington State news story about recent "not-quite giant" squid activity:

An estimated 1,000 to 1,500 Humboldt jumbo flying squid - typically found off the coast of Mexico - have washed up on southwest Washington beaches in the past few days, said Greg Bargmann, a marine fish manager with the state Fish and Wildlife Department.

Yup, Humboldts, which to me are damned near as interesting as the real giant squid. Apparently they're good eating, because the article leads off with a guy stuffing his freezer full of them.

I think it would be far wiser to investigate exactly how these squid died before stocking the fridge with them. You don't want to find out the hard way that it's because of a potent neurotoxin they still have in their flesh...
