A French yacht was attacked by a giant squid. Make your own jokes, but this is real.

And some unconfirmed reports
I have heard a story about an Octopus that climbed out of his tank and ate the fish in a nearby tank, then climbed back before the morning crew came on duty.
I have seen an octopus unscrew the top of a jar to get at the snails inside. Mollusks are dumb?

Umm, the megamouth shark isn't a molusk and has been extinct for a few million years.Posted by A.ndy on Tanknet
In the last few years a number of new species have been found:
Off New Zealand, an octopus measuring 13 feet across was caught in a fishing net. That's the body - not the tentacles.
The megamouth shark was rediscovered about a decade ago - an ancient species with a mouth large enough to swallow a full grown man.
My favorite - the Vampire Squid - was found at about 10,000 feet deep and has daggers in place of where the suckers are located.
The "Dumbo" octopus was found on a deep sea expedition. The body is about as large as a beach ball, but it gets the name from two massive fleshy appendages (insert Beavis laugh here) that look like massive ears. These are used to propel the creature through the depths of the black.
