I bet PZ Myers and the Pharynguloids would disagree (pharyngula.com) - that's a cephalopod fan club!

Yes, but are they fans of the creatures, or of eating them? Seems like there would be a difference :) I prefer them in the ocean, swimming about freely.

What about the guys who catch them and then kill them by biting them in the head---

By the way, that site I linked to wasn't as bad as first impressions make it out to be, but I guess my warning wasn't strong enough.

Pharynguloids like them alive at first, while studying their behavior, then fried later, for a good dinner.
