Hi everyone I am pretty sure I found a news story a few months ago on this forum but I cant seem to find it again using the search function! Ive also tried googling to no avail.

The story was about a man being pulled up from a body of water, somewhere cold like Alaska. An autopsy revealed that he had a squid's arm or tentacle lodged in his brain, which had entered through his ear.

This story is particularly memorable because it had a gross picture attached of the dude's brain disected- the cross section view showed the tentacle still lodged in the brain.

Does anyone remember this or am I having a 1984 moment?
If you do remember it can you kindly post the link! its driving me bananas.

Thanks =)

Man, looking at the rest of the stuff I sure hope it is a hoax! Talk about ewwww!
Looked up exocell on google, only came up with that site with a report on a creature.
 
Looks like a case for Myth Busters.....err Ghost Busters......err Squid busters.......well whoever they are!
 
One heck of a sales pitch for a video game. Great marketing when you can't discern reality from an advertisement!
 
Oh come on, now. This is a bunch of crap. Did you have a look at the "x-rays" showing the tentacles penetrating a person's head and neck?

Ridiciulous.

Ya'll been hooked & reeled in.

:D

Ubisoft is a huge game manufacturer. I'm sure you'll be seeing a game called "Exocell".
