Squid are, apparently, cute. This is slightly mysterious to me. They certainly look like wiggly gobs of slimyness. Sort of like worms, except moreso. Be that as it may, squid are apparently cute.
It is currently unknown whether the cuteness applies to the giant squid in the murky depths of the ocean, the ones that battle with giant toothy whales for their honor and their lives, with their 100 foot tentacles, and horned beaks the size of a compact car.
The ancient greeks tell tales of seamen rescued by the small playful squid of the adriatic. There are no verified reports from recent history. Speculation is that either the squid are mad at us, or the greeks were full of shit.
Prior to the greeks, in the realm of true pre-history, there are extensive cave drawings depicting the great civilizations of the Squid Gods of ancient man. Until recently, these drawings were dismissed as the deranged fantasies of mammoth-trampled primitives. In 1995, the dig at Hokeypowa Japan turned up the ruins of a squid city. The issue is being hotly debated in all the right circles.
In recent years, squid have fallen into disrepute. Recently uncovered documents suggest that the astronomer Tycho Brahe was a sub-literate front for a mysterious squid who did all the work.
Efforts to uncover possible squid conspiracies are hampered by their ability to emit clouds of ink, and make their escape unseen.
