Squid are strange and curious beasties. > [@Whatcha Readin' June 2012 Edition](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/whatcha-readin-june-2012-edition/623701/100): > > Now reading [Mr Briggs’ Hat](http://www.amazon.com/MR-Briggs-Hat-Victorian-Railway/dp/0349123594/ref=la_B001JRXCS0_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1340957342&sr=1-3): _A Sensational Account of Britain’s First Railway Murder_ by Kate Colquhoun. > > Good stuff.
