Hundreds Of Pounds Of Cocaine Found In Giant Squid

From here:

Peruvian police said on Monday they seized nearly 1,540 pounds (700 kg) of cocaine hidden in frozen giant squid bound for Mexico and the United States.

[...]

Seven people were arrested in the drug seizure. Police said the haul would have a street value of about $17.5 million.

Word on the street is, the cops were tipped off because the squid couldn't keep its tentacles still. Also, its pupils were the size of plankton.

If charged with being a "mule," the squid could face up to 25 years of hard labor as a floatation device in Starr Jones's swimming pool.
