For those who just can't resist watching the squeeze and suck of a 6-foot mollusk, go to nationalgeographic.com and watch Humboldt squid videos. Guaranteed not too sexy. (Third featured video).

Also, there are other interesting "pop science" videos of mollusks and other invertebrates including amber snails turned into "zombies" by leucochloridium worms. Guaranteed less sexy than ever. The eye stalks of the snails are infested by engorged pulsating larvae to attract birds. Avert thine eyes, Aydin.
