Jazz are you sure? I thought squids-- like star fish can have any number of arms- depending on species.. (10 being the most common number for squid, 5 for star fish)

Dr bill-- squids (and octopus) are both quite nice, breaded and deep fried, served with a spicy hot tomato based sause.. I particularly like the little ones, fried whole.. I haven't quite worked up to eating them raw--as they do in japan.. they are also nices stewed in a tomato sause and served with pasta...
