Octosquid captured

A half-squid, half-octopus creature was found in Hawaii and biologists say it might be a new species of animal.

War, who termed the specimen "octosquid" for the way it looked, said it was about a foot long, with white suction cups, eight tentacles and an octopus head with a squidlike mantle.

Meh. Give me an octopus, a squid, and a stapler, and I'll give you all sorts of new species.
