   Thanks a lot. Caused a huge ruckus at my house. My boys were having a gorilla-octopus war, and I walked by and said it was International Cephalopod Day, so the octopus declared himself the winner by default, and gorilla boy ran off crying until I went and told him maybe that means we eat octopus and squid on International Cephalopod day, and then he was happy again.

   If I can get another 3 people together, we’ll go hug an octopus. Or a squid, if I can get a 4th.

   PZ-have you seen “The Future is Wild?” It was on Animal Planetlast night-the show focuses on speculation about the direction of future evolution. Cephalopods came out very nicely-giant land roaming versions, and some intelligent, emotional types.

   Anybody read Jeff VanderMeer’s squid-infested “Ambergris” novels?
   “City of Saints & Madmen” is cephalopodlicious.
   http://www.jeffvandermeer.com is his homepage.
