When did they change the spelling for "Kraken" to "Giant Squid"?

No Kraken is the Colossal Squid, or larger, with a bad attitude.

Thanks for the offer, BV.
At my age, I am about through worrying about getting caught, maybe even doing anything to get caught at.
When Norton gets too annoying, I'll make an effort to give it the boot. This is the third computer that that outfit has screwed up for me.

Those squid pics all look Photoshopped to me. The squid just doesn't jibe.

And why in God's name would you get in the water with that gotta-be-putrid-and-the-water-would-be-too thing?!

They shouldn't need samples for that level; just check for bones. The samples will determine which species.

The Atlas Obscura video showed some features that looked very whale-like; the corrugated throat, and what appeared to be some spilled intestines. The screenshot on the second Snopes video (though not the video itself, I dont' think) showed something very spine-like.

I wonder if there's a smashed bowl of petunias somewhere nearby.

I believe Youtub went to HTML5 recently as did several other places like Amazon. It uses an entirely different form of Digital Rights crap that breaks all sorts of web browsers. I suspect this is what you're running into Diaphone Jim.

Do try Chrome and import all your bookmarks etc. It's not a hard change.

I think he has Chrome already, just prefered to stay with IE. I did to until the delays became intolerable. Something interesting I noticed, for years I've used Ccleaner to dump cookies and get rid of crap, every hour or two online. Using Chrome with the anti tracking and Google analytics blocked, I consistently have 75% less cookies & crap to clear. I still use IE for certain things like talking to my Doctor's portal, so I keep both.
