Today, I’m taking a cue from Bruce Schneier, among many other security folks who blog, and devoting an entry to squid.

I recently came across an interesting post on the National Geographic site regarding squid and some of their unusual sexual practices. Among the weirdness, some squid cut open their partners with their beak before transferring the spermatophore, some have sperm that is capable of burrowing into the target’s skin, and in one species, some males have developed female characteristics, down to even having developed female sex glands.
