Prototaxites, a prehistric 20 foot tall mushroom

I had read about this earlier today and dug up some links.

Squid Theories

Are Squids related to aliens? Are they the "monkey" to the alien? If Dolphins are decended from land animals, could squids be related to a land animal? If octopus and squid can change color so well to blend into their surroundings, then couldn't aliens as well? Couldn't they have learned the organic technology of their body, and applied it to their spacecraft for cloaking? Just maybe the recent explosion in the population of jumbo squid is actually breeding by aliens for DNA harvest. Speculation, yes, but I've heard silly rumors of a scientist who thinks that in 1000 years giant squids and great white sharks will be land animals! What should we do? or are the Squids here to save us?
