define giant shark and giant squid. How long are each, how heavy are they. If they were matched for LENGTH then id vote the shark would win. If they were matched for WEIGHT then id say squiddy...

We need more info man, like what is the size of the shark and the squid? Does the squid have poisonous venom? Will the venom affect the shark? Does the shark have any teeth missing? Are they male or female? Do any of them have their periods at the time of the fight? Do either of them belong to any gangs or have any connections?

If it is one of those legandary giant squids we hear about, then the squid will definitely own the shark.

Umm all sharks have brains hehehe some only small ones though.
Is this some mythical "giant shark" cos the biggest shark I know of is the whale shark and a giant squid would own that shark cos it is really slow (for a shark) and only eats plankton and doesnt have sharp teeth.

Feel free to correct me if im wrong, its been a while since I did science at school.

Well I've seen some photos of blue whales that have come off badly against giant squid but maybe a shark would fare better, assuming it was a big-bastard great white of Jaws-esque proportions.

humm....well all I can think of is "2000 leagues under the sea" or what ever the farrrrrk its called~! and the pictures I've seen of the squiddyz on them are like mega mammoth or were they octopussies? anyway i think the squid would kill because if the shark say were attacking one of the suiddyz tentacles and without knowing the squiddy has more than one tentacles would leave it vulnarable to the other tentacles in its attack. So fuck you shark go eata big tofu.

DVSGUY: you are correct!

ok i think we can assume they are both exceptionally large...like Japanese cult movie size...(in black and white even!) but for fdair play they would both have to be the same size...
also after thinking about it this is what would happen...

the Giant shark would whip off a few tenticles in the beginning but then the Giant squid would get a grip on the shark and strangle it etc

so i retract my earlier bet and say that the SQUID would own the shark

we used to argue about this wen we were OTP @ uni etc so thought i would share 8)
