Here's a bunch of pillaged squid gifs

One thing I've certainly noticed is that western Europe seems not to like squid as popular art. There are many beautiful academic drawings, but not a lot of squid on pop bottles. The Japanese and ancient mediteranean cultures seem to be much more pro-squid.

NEW IMAGES as of 4/01

• A series of pictures I took in the British Museum.
  They're not very good, since I had to take them furtively and without a flash, but they should help you track down the actual British Museum items. Warning the next 4 pictures are huge, they average about 2 megs each. Some day I'll shrink the files down to a size that matches their quality.
• Roman mosaic from BM stairway. Has small silly squid in the corner.
• Roman mosaic with seafood and lumpy squid a lot of glare from the glass.

The top of the squid link charts goes to The Smithsonian's search for Giant Squid exhibition. If you only visit one web site on squid this year, make it this one.

And then there's my new favorite, The Octopus Magazine Online

If anybody is going near Toyama Japan, please stop in at the Firefly squid museum and let me know all about it.

The Main Celphelapod resource page at The Cephalapod Page This includes a very good FAQ.

Some truly spectacular underwater photography can be found here. This is the new, non UW link, so it should be around a while. When it breaks, search the web for Scott Freeman pictures.

The EuroSquid home page Certainly the coolest name. What could be more suave than a EuroSquid?
