Squid are decapods not octopods -- mostly.

I prefer to collect anatomically correct (moreor less) non-edible squid for my collection. Bait squid (also made out of rubber-like substance) have fringes rather than tentacles. But I've got some in my collection (thanks, Sins) along with cuttlefish, a couple octopus, and a lot of squid ranging from very realistic rubber ones, rhinestoned squid jewelry, ceramic chopstick rests, and, of course, a wonderful kitchen whisk that not only looks really cool sitting on the shelf, but is the BEST whisk I've ever used. Also have a lovely carved wooden netsuke thanks to my sister and a neat squid writing implement as well. Oh, and silver squid earrings.

Why doesn't anyone make squid lawn ornaments?!? Yard squid!
