quote [ So, okay, the obvious question: why exactly would you want to put squids in space? I mean, besides the cool factor, what is there to be gained? ]
I for one welcome our new cephalopod overlords from space ...
So, Endeavour will carry several Hawaiian bobtail squid into space to study the effect of microgravity on their development ... gigantism & laser eyes would be my guess!

We all know that the squid embryos will undergo a metamorphosis triggered by the combination of microgravity and cosmic rays which will result in them taking their ancestral alien forms and returning to earth as conquerors. Hurray for science! |

I for one am grateful no one has paraphrased that Simpsons quote. |

Don’t kid yourself, Jimmy. If a squid ever got the chance, he’d eat you and everyone you care about! |

[Score:2 Insightful]
And this is how the birth of Cthulhu will happen. Whether it is a collission with a radioactive meteor, exposure to wild sunspots or a passing comet, we cannot know. However, one day, history will tell about this dreadful day when a returning shuttle brought the god down to the earth, even as it was first prophesied by H P Lovecraft. |

We are returning them to space. I, for one, suspect that they have been directing our evolution and development for a million years simply so we could serve this purpose. |

the Japanese and the Italians figured out their plan some time ago, and have quietly been doing their part to thwart those efforts. |

By deep frying their offspring and drawing pornography involving their tentacles? |

Clearly the squid infiltration of Japanese government is more advanced than we thought. |
