*The Forum Rules.
Yep, rules. Read 'em. Abide by 'em. Or your sea creature powers may be revoked. Temporarily, or for good.
1. New to the lounge? Get started here. Learn which category to post your note in, and create a forum signature.
2. Spam: just don't do it. Thou also shalt not fill the forums with multiple threads on the same topic or sockpuppet.
3. Thou shalt not flame, harass, denigrate, spam, malign, or otherwise finger-point and name-call at ANYONE. This one's a biggy. This too can get you banned.
4. Squidstaff love interacting with smart front-line people, so they stop by the forums from time to time to hear your ideas and share updates. However, this isn't the place to post bugs or solicit admin action. Please send those requests through our feedback link.
5. The SquidU forum is a place for users to interact, to share ideas and inspiration (and yes, gripes... maybe another lensmaster can help) and have fun with their lenses. Try searching for an answer or visiting The Answer Deck.

Re: Quite possibly the freakiest Squid-like sea creature I've ever seen
Wow, thanks for sharing it! Did you leave the link to the big picture? It does freak me out... it has tentacles ON its tentacles, and that huge eye... I wonder what its thinking! It even has an ear, or flap/fin thing.
What a picture!!!
Good job finding it.

Yes, it's linked to a larger image. It's quite bizarre.

ANYTHING that gets caught by him has NO CHANCE of getting free...
He is a FEARSOME creature!
What shall we name him? Bob?

There's some freaky stuff on that page. Including another two photos of 'Bob'.
I'm amazed by the Gonatus Onyx (Black-eyed squid). Looks like she's all dressed up and going to the prom.

Yesterday afternoon my daughters and I attended a Regency Ball celebrating Jane Austen. One of the ladies there had a headdress that resembled Bob.
I want a "Dumbo Octopus" of my very own!

I can't get Lewis' link to work. Any suggestions? I am a little reluctant to surf through that site for fear of all the porn links... 
Little eyes, you know...

Re: Quite possibly the freakiest Squid-like sea creature I've ever seen
Thanks Lewis, you made me smile (again!).
Thanks Badmsm, now I can just look at the links you found and not look it all up myself and thereby be an informed, albeit lazy, homeschooler. ;-)
