    Umm, don’t get too excited- I’m pretty sure that’s intended to represent a cnidarian, not a cephalopod. A cnidarian with some pretty nasty nematocysts, at that.

    Yes it’s true. I thought of you the moment I saw this posted on BoingBoing.

    Hmm. Cnidaria, Cephalopoda, Danio. I guess the taxon “Animals that PZ Myers likes” is not a clade.

    Though in my non-expert opinion, you can have valid taxa that are not clades.

    Do you know of Glaucus sea slugs eat sea wasps? I’ve heard of people dying in ankle-high water after accidently stepping on one, in that, Glaucus was suspected because the victims had a localized sting, primarily on the foot, as opposed to sting marks all over the legs or arms.

    Just because you love cephalopods, that doesn’t mean they love you.
