The more I read about them, the more I'm fascinated with how alien they seem to be to me. It's either them or crabs as the ultimate form that everything would come to eventually. Maybe even molecrabs we are yet to discover.

Squid are pretty awesome too. More alien than crabs IMO as well.

Crabs are kinda like big tasty water-spiders.

I think octopus are the most awesome animals on the planet, beating crows for the title.

I think we should give them knives and make them fight for it

Do you have some links or recs to drop for me and others about squids? That'd be sweet.

I mean, a 1-2-3 hour documentary or a paper would obviously exceed my look at them, even if they glance back.
