There's a flying squid?
Can squid really fly? Yes, says David Brian Butvill, there are a few squid species that can get airborne... Here's how and why
I knew there's a flying squid that likes to post memes though
If a squid swimming near the surface is spooked by a predator or a boat, it streamlines into a torpedo shape and fires itself out of the water. At the same time, it splays its eight tentacles into a flat, fan-like pattern in front of its face – some breeds even exude mucus to fill in the spaces, creating a unified, kite-like surface. It also flares a pair of fins near its rear end and – voilà – the squid becomes a living, breathing jet.
And here I was thinking it was just a fun username.

How many tickles does it take to make a squid fly?
I figure it's got to be about ten tickles
Squids have two tentacles. The rest are arms.
A set of eight arms and two distinctive tentacles surround the mouth
Wait wait wait...you have no idea how a squid would react if you tickled it. What if it freaked out and bit your nose off? First you need to cautiously do a test tickle
When the day gets late the Squid dons its little propellers and crosses the heavens squirting the night sky until the cuttlefish of day chases it forever westward.
