One thing led to another and we came to actual fisticuffs* over which is the best out of octopuses and squidses.True, the squid wins on the number of legs (ten vs eight), but the octopus would triumph easily on intelligence. High IQ society MENSA has several octopus members, whilst squid are often invited to sit the entry exam, but spend hours outside the hall trying to push the door open when the sign clearly says "Pull".
This leads to the question: Who would win a fight between a squid and an octopus?
Clearly, the advantage is with the squid, managing ten boxing gloves to Inky's eight, but the octopus would be the only one smart enough to pull the old horseshoe-in-the-glove trick.
Academics are divided on the subject, with a letter in a recent edition of the scientific journal Nature from a noted zoologist and calimari lover saying "Who cares? They're all suckers."
The winner, of course, goes through to face the victor of Baboon vs Badger.

Octopus football match predictions. Clearly psychic as well as intelligent. But as is well known, all TV psychics are wet blanket, Derek Acorah types, whereas the squid, as seen for example on Jason & the Argonauts or Pirates of the Caribbean, display the cephalopod equivalent of the kung-fu stylings of Eric Cantona. So ask yourself, who would win in a fight? Colin Fry or Vinnie Jones?
Obviously, the squid would win.
There was a giant one in 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and what about BogaTen that Bob Hope wrestled in "Road To Bali" - massive!
Have you seen how big those things can grow? Gi-effing-normous!
Anyone who says otherwise is plainly a drooling moron. End of debate.
But can a duck outrun a cephalopod? That's tough. That's double tough, son.
WoD
Who is Colin Fry?
@Debster. A baby octopus.
Now, we went for our Christmas lunch yesterday, and they served Calamari. We won.
