PZ, I had no idea you know my mother-in-law!

Definitely not a cuddlefish.
John P is just rude. It’s as furry as a fungus colony, it has beautiful greenish-gray-brown flesh with pretty pink stripes, a cute combination inspired by color-blindness, and large friendly eyes with gaping pupils like black mine shafts.
OK, I give up, which end is the face? Or perhaps as the old saw goes, with a face like that I’d shave my tentacles and swim backwards.
Actually, ’tis a beautiful critter.
It reminds me of a Muppet!
