   I tend to curl my toes like that during orgasm.

   Wow! That’s quite the midden. I wonder how long that octopus had been living there.

   Looks like he took her out for a nice scallop dinner beforehand.

   I’d like to be under the Sea, in an Octopus’ garden, in the shade

   (As opposed to Catholics who sing “I’d like to be under the See”)

    The female–that would be the green translucent one in the middle?

    Nice one, Gnu Atheist.
    The scallop shells are interesting. This spot is near another site where we think that the octos have brought in thousands of shells over a long period. Lots of scallop dinners.

    @9. anuran : Good one.

    Looks almost like there’s a model of the Flying Spaghetti Monster made of scallops, shells and seaweed under the octopus there too!
