   Calculations of the poundage of a deboned Myers dance through her head.

   Not only is she giving you The Look, she dressed up for you.

   Skeptical, huh. Cephalopods are disgustingly under-represented at skeptic conferences and in skeptic organisations. What are you doing about that, monkey boy?

    It would be cute, if it weren’t for the veiny looking marks.

    I had a long conversation with this cuttlefish at the Melbourne Aquarium.

    While you were conversing with her, were the people around you backing slowly away?

    Very nice… I try to avoid anthropomorphizing but that is adorable.

    She? How do you sex a cuttlefish? I’m not sure but the cuttlefish seems to be about ready to flick the middle finger. Or tentacle, oh whatever.

    She’s gorgeous, I wonder what she was saying to you. How do their eyes work? I must know, it’s not like I have anything more interesting to do on a friday night.

    All right, what’s going on? I now find myself thinking cuttlefish are cute, octopi are cute…although I’m not sure the cuttlefish is saying “come hither” so much as “Whargarbl? And who’s that creep standing behind you?”

    Those pupils are amazing. I’ve heard of looking daggers at someone, but that’s ridiculous.

    I do wonder what role those oddly shaped pupils play in their vision.

    Making eyes with a pretty little thing probably less than a year old. Shame.

    Next you’re going to tell me there’s such a thing as cuttlefish years. That would be something like 6 human years per month.

    Staring into the eyes of the cuttlefish at the Melbourne Aquarium is the closest I’ve ever come to a spiritual experience. They look like they have the answer to ‘life the universe and everything’ if they could only get to a telephone before the Vogons arrive.
