Haven't read all this yet, though I will.

Very interesting, and as a "Bristol Boy" myself, it's even more so. 

Thanks for posting.

Thanks for posting. Very interesting!  I was fascinated (and still am) by cephalopods regret never having set up a tank for live ones to study. Modes of buoyancy control ingenous.
