    They are pretty cool creatures. Imagine if you were from some other planet, came here and saw an octopus for the first time (assuming you didn’t have such things on your own planet). You’d not know if they were truly the intelligent rulers of the planet or not, but they sure would look very alien and scary.

    At any rate, I’ve always wanted a pet squid. Though apparently I’d have to turn most of my living room in a giant aquarium with water recirculators.

      You try and pet me and I’ll rip your face off with my hooked suckers.

      And yeah whatever. Cool creatures. You won’t think they’re so cool the fifth time they hit you up for money.

        Well of course, he or she would have to have a full time job and pay for their room and board, I’m not running a charity here.

        I can see it now. “Whatever happened to that guy in the apartment up there who had the pet squid? Nobody’s seen him in 15 weeks and something big is sloshing around in the dark up there.”
