    Okay, enough wiht the jokes. This is an easy one.

    A squid is a cephalopod (which you could have easily looked up yourself) and is realted to the octopus and cuttlefish.

    cephalopods are amazing actually (although out of the 3, I'm the least enamored of squid, I love cuttlefish and octopus and won't even eat them anymore). They are invertebrates and although you can't honestly say they have a true brain, they have the largest collection of never cells of any invertebrate. What I'm trying to say, is that Cephalopods as a group have the largest brains of the invertebrates. They can learn by observation and have been shown to have amazing cognitive abilities. Some of those abilities are considered extreemly complex and aren't even found in many mammals.

    So learn to respect the Cephalopod (although i do eat squid about once a year).

    Squid are members of the class Cephalopoda, subclass Coleoidea, order Teuthida, of which there are two major suborders, Myopsina and Oegopsina
