Hm, transparent outer layer (skin?). That's certainly odd. Are the floaty things inside it organs? In particular, I see it has eyes. Where's the rest of its nervous system?

Through a glass, squidly...
See food?

FRAUD! That's not real glass.
Here's a real glass squid.

It looks like a lightbulb.

I sure hope I don't see one in my glass this friday night...

Is the glass squid half empty, half full or too big?

In case you ever decide to change the name of your blog: Dances With Squid only shows up on a few sites.

pelagic/planktivorous, I'm guessing?

PZ,
Your Friday Cephalopods inspired me to purchase Mark Norman's book. Having read it, it's got me to wondering: is the Flying Spaghetti Monster a cephalopod? I mean if you stripped the skin off a Football Octopus it might look much like the FSM (but with the the meatballs arranged longitudinally rather than transversally).
