Regal, triumphant…but so alone. Which reminds me that I must fly home soon to my 32nd wedding anniversary and some cephalove.

At least it wanted to be, then the bony thing came along with its hideous flashing lights.

Oh well. Happy anniversary you two. I hope the festivities involve cake (but not sky cake).

I suppose you could see it as in #5, or, as loving head.
Yes I know, fifth-grade strikes again!

Happy Anniversary, PZ!
Also, did any other Americans see the title of this post before seeing the photo and think that the cephalopod in question would be pleasuring itself?

But wouldn’t pleasuring itself be a form of suicide? Wouldn’t that be a GOP wet dream.

How is this not the most incredible and absolutely stunning thing anyone has seen today? I am dumbfounded that evolution brought about such a being. More than a creature, this things has such a brute beauty I am considering it as my own favorite animal.
In some ways, it’s too bad humans fawn over their own kind (celebrities) when the study of such beautiful organisms precipitates a very deep understanding of oneself.
