Is there a doctor in the house? Any highly skilled and informed hypochondriacs?
If so, can you tell me what the hell this is?

If I ever manage to learn scuba diving, I would definitely want to go see flamboyant cuttlefish in the wild.
Oh, wanted to alert some of the Pharyngulites to a comment thread over on Dinosaur Tracking, where Brian Switek’s slamming of the nonsense regarding dinosaurs in Ancient Aliens has led to an outpouring of idiocy from people who seem to think that there is any validity in thinking that dinosaurs were wiped out by aliens, or that aliens had a hand in building ancient civilisations. If anybody is in the mood to engage them and rebut their nonsensical ideas, feel free to say something over here:

Like little poisonous flowers. Flamboyant cuttles are so pretty.
