Yup, I knew they had beaks.
Did you know that they are the source for the cuttlebone your birds gnaw on? I guess we can discuss all things cephalopoda here? They also have the world's largest eyeballs.

I am having fits of laughter at thinking of some humans with this problem, too!

as for that photo - excellent that you were able to find this old print. There are so few like this - well done! I think dated this guy's brother in college!
Those long ones are for grasping, of course!
