I think PZ would be offended that someone would even dare ask this question!

I vote for the Kraken. That pic of Britney is horrible.

The intelligent look in the Kraken's eye is very sexy.

Does Kraken make sing? If no, I think we have a winner....

Another vote for the Kraken. I'll bet it sings better, too. It's a preconception by mediocre minds that squids can only live in water.

......and look at those legs. Kraken it is.

Britnery doesn't come in a nice hue of pinkish-violet. Besides that siphon is to do for!
Kraken hands down.
