MinnObserver sent me this photo from the state fair: even here in the midwest, people are gluing seeds into the form of very angry octopuses. Portents? Omens? Subconscious resonance with the Great Old Ones? Who knows.
Also, Mark Chu-Carroll finds a similarly ominous sculpture. It looks to be in the strange genre of cyclopic cephalopods.

Was that a Cthulu reference? Am I to understand that PZ is not truly an atheist, but actually a closet member of the CCC?

mr.orange: That page does say they have a branch at UMinnesota …
Maybe that’s the student club I should have joined when I was an undergraduate … oh well …
