the squid-octopus dilemma
Octopuses eat bottom-dwelling crustaceans. Squids eat fishes and shrimps.

pardon my parent-child conversation posts, but this is what it means to be grounded.
had squid for dinner, and as i was dabbling it in wasabi <3 style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">"hey, you adults use to tell me squids are octopuses. (e.g. 'hey, come, eat this giant octopus' or 'you got to try to chew up this Big octopus...' - prolly to instill a sense of excitment about a dinner dish). And there was a point of time when i got really confused, seriously, i was battling that thought of how when they sell 'octopuses' they have to sell it in great amounts because they are so huge. so the market would have sudden influxes of 'em. OR do they chop of single tentacles, breed the octopus and wait for the tentacle to re-grow, since lizards grow tails etc. OR why are the octopuses i see in disney films - e.g. littlemermaid's ursula has such huge tentacles, so why are those on the dinner tablel so thin..."

"but they're in the same..er..family, they look alike, so we werent really that wrong, right?"
darn. they dont regret lying, do they?

anyway, heard of squidjuice-soup?
a pot of ink, might be a cure for writer's block.
served with two chunks of cream at the top...
not appetising at all seriously.
squid-ink soup...hm...
