[pong]

By STAFF REPORTER - The Sun - 22 June 2011

A GIANT 55 foot 'sea monster' has been found washed up on a beach in China.

The beast from the deep is so badly decayed it cannot be identified. But according to local reports from Guangdong, in the southeast of the country, it weighed at least 4.5 TONS.

One fisherman, known only as Hwang, 66, said he was astonished by the find.

People have flocked to see the creature — despite the rotting corpse's foul stench.

It was found tangled in ropes and one theory is fisherman caught it but could not land it as it was so big.

It is clearly a Guangdong carcass. These mysterious creatures have been sighted for centuries and there are only 2 known specimen that have been observed up close. This one is in better condition than the one found in 1833 off the western coast of Japan.

I recognized it immediately having watched Tokyo SOS on Chiller the other night. Now, where are the singing fairy chicks?
