They're taking to the air now

There's nowhere where we can hide now.

Marine biologist Silvia Maciá was boating on the north coast of Jamaica in the summer of 2001 when she noticed something soar out of the sea. At first she thought it was a member of the flying fish family—a group of marine fish that escape predators by breaking the water's surface at great speed and gliding through the air on unusually large pectoral fins. But after tracing the creature's graceful arc for a few seconds, Maciá realized this was no fish. It was a squid—and it was flying.

Let me be the first to say:

"All hail to our new octosquid overlords".

I watched this Discovery Channel special series many years back, where they were talking about a future scenario where in the humans had left Earth after more or less wrecking it's weather pattern and settled on some other planet.
They predicted quite a few things including turtles growing as large as dinosaurs and squids eventually filling the void left by primates, as the most intelligent species.

Stupid squid need to stick with their own, swimming around and being all jelly and what not. Ain't nobody want them here, takin our jobs and our womens with their extra tentacles and suction cups. How we supposed to accomodate them when they all look the same?

"On a LISTSERV dedicated to mollusks"

Wow. That's our top spy agency now.

Now that would be a feat in multicultural tolerance.

I can see the headlines now, Non-squid humans now minority births
Or maybe, The first squid president pledges to end the barbaric practice of eating seafood

Yes ambassador?

Sheriff Joe is mobilizing as we speak to stop the Squid Threat.

It is pointless to resist. All your shrimp are belong to us.

Why isnt anyones considering that now with a boat and a few bug nets it would be easy to set up a self catching squid industry/calamari resteraunt?

They thought of that and are already lost to us, these things prey on he smart
