Yay!! Well, not the squid, but the octopus is one of my favorites too. We started a thread about it. http://atheistforums.org/thread-5925.html
Sea pigs look like a marine naked mole rat. It might be the "so ugly it's cute" factor.
awe that octopus was amazing ! (in the video on the thread)
The ocean and the deep ocean are so fascinating to me, most all of the animals haven't gone through much evolutionary change over all these years. Its like looking into the past.
I read an article on how jellyfish could rule the ocean because of how all the other kinds of fishes are hunted for so much (which pisses me off). I really enjoy the gigantic jellyfishes like these:

"It is far better to grasp the universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring." Carl Sagan
It is true, that which I have revealed to you; there is no God, no universe, no human race, no earthly life, no heaven, no hell. It is all a dream—a grotesque and foolish dream. Nothing exists but you. And you are but a thought—a vagrant thought, a useless thought, a homeless thought, wandering forlorn among the empty eternities!

"Reserve your right to think, for even to think wrongly is better than not to think at all."
(Hypatia of Alexandria)
"Fables should be taught as fables, myths as myths, and miracles as poetic fancies. To teach superstitions as truths is a most terrible thing. The child-mind accepts and believes them, and only through great pain and perhaps tragedy can he be in after-years relieved of them. In fact, men will fight for a superstition quite as quickly as for a living truth - often more so, since a superstition is so intangible you can not get at it to refute it, but truth is a point of view, and so is changeable."
