Drug-running giant squid

The giant-squid beat just keeps getting weirder and weirder. According to the BBC:

Police in Peru have seized about 700kg of cocaine hidden in frozen giant squid bound for Mexico and the US.

The drugs - worth about $17.5m - were sealed in several layers of plastic and other wrapping material and covered in pepper to divert sniffer dogs.

No comment necessary — or, really, even possible.

(Thanks to Josh, David, and Jeff for this one!)
