Here's the first volley of cephalopod recognition posts I've received. Do send me more, and I'll put them up later. Do me a favor and put "Cephalopod Awareness" in your subject line so I can sort them out more easily.

A word in favour of dried squid...

One of my students used to bring bags of shredded dried squid to lab meeting. I was the only one who would eat it, and I did find it rather addictive. A bit like squid-flavoured chewing gum, but once the flavour was gone you could swallow it and reach for another piece.

Nutrition-wise I suspect it's mainly collagen - how else could it be so tough?

cephalopod worship, for some reason, involves scantily clad women.

Well, clothes would get caught in their beaks...
