Everyone Loves Giant Squid

Today I am going to send you over to Deep-Sea News for your squid fix. Because Dr. M has just made the compelling case that Giant Squid Are Awesomesauce.

There's really not room for debate. (There might be room for a couple of grammatical edits.)

It is important to point out that giant squid share many of their awesome features with other, smaller squid species. Chitin-ringed suckers, an aimable siphon, esophagus-through-the-brain, and other traits may lead us to conclude that, in fact, all squid are awesomesauce.

P.S. My brain is now humming, to the tune of A-Hunting We Will Go:

Esophagus through the brain, esophagus through the brain,
Heigh-ho, the dairy-o, esophagus through the brain!

You have to sing "esophagus" really fast.
