wild Republic Stuffed Squid sounded like some elaborate dish there... I should definitely own the lego squid ammo - given that lego and Squidoo are two of my passions. I love those squidlike mini camera tripods. Love the Octosquid link. One thing to note - "Squid" isn't a computer language, it's web caching server software - so you could say "For those into the Squid cache system" (sorry I am a pedant). Otherwise - this an amazing collection of squidbits. (like tidbits, only more tentacles).
