Dog and cat owners knew it all along, they have personalities. But did you know that other animals, such as rats, mice, spiders and squids also have [personalities](http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/27123058/)? I don’t mind squids having personalities but I am now going to be more paranoid about spiders, I already thought they messed with me on purpose and now I know for sure. But if squids start building webs in the corner of my living room, I’ll worry about them, too. ---

If squids start building webs people’s living rooms, we’re ALL in a lot of trouble. ---

Well, if a person has personality, then a squid would have squidality. There’s no such thing as a “squidon.” 😛 ---
