In high school, my biology teacher had a nautilus shell.  Gorgeous thing.  Some student that had an authority problem smashed it.

Is it just me, or does this one look like a fractal?

Knurrhähne sind eßbar aber empfehlen würde ich das nicht unbedingt.
The aspitriglos is edible though I do not actually recommend it.

Not PZ's but a page devoted to cephalopods, The Cephalopod Page which I found following a link about cephalopod intelligence.

From a documentary made in 1958/9

http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x97/Swatopluk/Krake1.jpg
Divers brought up a cockle and put it into an aquarium together with a variety of crabs snails etc.
It turned out that the entity inside the shell was not the original cockle but a small octopus. The other inhabitants of the aquarium wnet one by one to inspect the new arrival much to the octopus' displeasure. Kicking the snail off was easy but the following crab was more difficult. It still did not require the leaving of the shell.

But then the hermit crab approached and seemed to anger the octopus much more. When the hermit crab would not back off the octopus left the shell and went into a wrestling contest. Now it turned out that the octopus was female and guarding her eggs inside the shell. Some time later the baby octopuses were hatching, encouraged by their mom. All the tiny dots in the picture are living babies. Having done her work the mother went rigid and died. She later got a burial at sea in a waterfilled closed jar.
