Yummm. I love Calamari.
Thanks Theo.

I love the mnemonic.

It is all so much more complicated than you think when you look on the surface.

When I went looking briefly last night there was a whole argument about how many suckers are on the arms/tenticles and the placement of the suckers.

That article didn’t go into the family genus or kingdom. Aparently it was too much for the reporter.

The only trouble with looking stuff up on line is most of the stuff you find is not very complete and sometimes incorrect.

Pffft. Any way thanks for the science lesson.

Annie — they’re all mollusks, and more specifically, cephalopods. That’s their taxonomic Phylum and Class, respectively; the classifications for octopi and various squids split away from each other after that.

The categories of taxonomy go like this (descending order, largest group to smallest):
Kingdom
Phylum
Class
Order
Family
Genus
Species

(mnemonic: “Kings Play Chess On Fuzzy Green Squares”)

So, they’re not *too* closely related, but you *can* get both at a decent sushi counter.
;)

Can’t be an octopus. Octopi don’t have visible ears, and their mouths are located on the underside, in the center of the tentacles. It’s cute, but is in no way an octopus.
