Squids have two eyes.. have you counted them right? I think the funny shape is based on a human perspective, it must seem normal for them. Imagine how funny we look to them?

Squids have 2 eyes, one on each side.
The shape of the squid body is an adaptation for swimming fast with minimum of effort, it is essentially shaped like most fish, when you consider the overall shape.
As for the fact that they have 8 arms (plus 2 tentacles, which are longer than the arms, with suckers only at the tip) you can consider their close relative, the nautilus, which can have up to 90. As the creature evolved and started hunting larger animals, bigger and stronger and more controlled arms in limited number make more sense, so evolution pushed it that way.
Octopus are also relatives to the squid, and they have 8 tentacle, and their shape is less hydrodynamic, so they usually do not swim as much as squid, preferring to ambush prey at the bottom of the sea.

Squids actually have two eyes, and they have two tentacles in addition to their eight arms. In any event, the number of arms and the orientation of the body are adaptations. That body type, unusual when compared to land animals, was highly successful in deep sea environments, so squids proliferated. Other body types have surely existed over hundreds of millions of years, and many sea creatures have bodies like the more typical fish, while others are unusual like squids, octopi, and lobsters. Any creature has the body shape it has because it has proven to be viable in a given ecosystem.

it form of seems such as you carry fairly some your weight around the middle making you an apple shape. all of us have a distinctive physique style and keep fat in fairly some places. i think of with your physique shape the prospect of having a 24 inch waist and not utilising a) starting to be underweight and b) looking too skinny in different aspects isn't sensible nor healthful. At 5ft the waist ought to be decrease than 30 inches and the waist/hip ratio should not be over 0.8. on the 2d it particularly is approx 0.85....besides the very undeniable fact that whereabouts did you degree your hips? To degree properly you wrap the tape degree around the biggest area of the buttocks and top thighs. For the waist you degree on the narrowest ingredient to the middle. wish this permits.

About the arms--they are evolvations of certain creatures, so they can't magically be the perfect being. They have the many arms mostly because it makes it easier to kill things like the sperm whale. They have small "spikes" so that they can rip up their prays' skin.

They actually have two eyes, and very good ones at that.
They are related to slugs and snails, hence the sort of blobby shape.
Why 8 arms? Because, that's why. Nobody knows.
