Aside from attacking divers they also play clarinet poorly.

"Are these things good to eat?" If you're a sperm whale, they're delicious.

Asian people at my neighborhood Italian Feast asked me what Calamari meant. I told it was fried squid. They came back four times for more. Only three more weeks until Saint Rocco’s Feast is held again. WHAT SUMMER?!

last time I ate the stuff I was sick for a week.
I think it needs to be handled carefully before cooking.

The biomass of squids in the world oceans greatly exceeds the biomass of all humans on the earth.
We have fresh yellow fin from the Hudson Canyon tonight...the fisherman who shared his catch with me said in all his years off-shore fishing, he has never seen such large biomasses of squid at night. The tuna were ferociously feasting.
Global warming. Yum!

Back in the 1970’s South Florida was invaded by an alien species of large plant-eating snails from the tropics. The things damaged the landscape of Miami until someone discovered the snails could be eaten and local papers printed recipes.

I caught one right offshore by Cabo this spring, and yes, they are aggressive!
