I have to admit that I don’t really see much going on either, but it’s been a veeeeeeeeeery long drought, so I trick myself into thinking that something naughty is happening. :o)
Or should that be :o(

The audio didn’t come through but I think it went something like this:
“Hey honey what’s your name? What’s your whole name? And can I have your phone number so I can call you up sometime?”

Oh, man! You got me all keyed up thinking today was Friday!

The hot, hot details have been covered before. NSFW if you work with a bunch of really knowledgable but hyperprudish bionerds.

“Ah, she is coy!”
This is a beautiful and artistic image of cephalopod relations at their best. Congrats on finding a sensitive treatment of this often-exploited subject.
Octopus pron tends to be that way, though, not as “hard-core” as cuttlefish and squid…
(rimshot!)

“Ah, she is coy!”
What a lovely, sensitive depiction of cephalopod reproduction! Truly artistic, not like those voyeuristic shots from New Zealand…
Of course, octopus joining is usually depicted this way, since they lack the hard core of squid and cuttlefish.
Oops, sorry October is the 10th month, oct of course means 8 so I screwed up.
This posting error stuff is driving me crazy.
SEFsays
It’s only the tenth month if you buy into the idea that January is the first month. If you go back to having March at the start of the year, October is the eighth month – as per its name.
And yes Party A (the large octopus on top of the rock) is definitely being vulgar by inserting its tab A into slot B of Party B (the smaller octopus at the base of the rock). You can just see her “half-lidded” eye next to the intruding tentacle.
Bride of Shrek OMsays
Thats a HUGE tentacle that occi has there. Bet he’s not at all ashamed to get undressed in the locker room. He’s the Johnny Holmes of the cephalopod world.

A quick drive-by posting, unrelated to cephalopods

I want a movement to christen that process whereby the creationists “find” dinosaur and human footprints in the same strata, and similar processes, PALINTOLOGY.

It’s called timed updated. PZ can write them at night or whenever he has free time. and then have them posted whenever he wants.
Plus, when you’re godless, Sundays are completely free time.
The Retrospective Prophetsays
And Lo! It shall come to pass, as it is written in the Book of Retrospective Prophecies, that the cephalopod appeareth on a Wednesday, and not on a Friday, as is rightful. And ye shall take it for a sign, that great wonders will shortly come to pass. And what these are, I will prophesy unto you, O, to you of little no faith, even when they have come to pass.

Mmmmmmmmmmhhhhhhh
Imma gonna have veeeeeery sweet dreams now.

Aww, sweet moment! Too bad the photographer’s flash probably ruined this octopus’s gambit. Still, a great photo.

By weird coincidence I just heard JoCo’s First Of May song for the very first tme today.
Anyway, who better to give a hand job than an octopus?
Jeanettesays
Sounds like this is the closest many of us have been to getting laid in quite some time. Naughty, PZ, corrupting our innocent geek minds with such graphic images, LOL.

The Peteysays
I’d like to be under the sea
In an octopus’ garden in the shade
He’d let us in, knows where we’ve been
In his octopus’ garden in the shade
I’d ask my friends to come and see
An octopus’ garden with me
I’d like to be under the sea
In an octopus’ garden in the shade.
We would be warm below the storm
In our little hideaway beneath the waves
Resting our head on the sea bed
In an octopus’ garden near a cave
We would sing and dance around
because we know we can’t be found
I’d like to be under the sea
In an octopus’ garden in the shade
We would shout and swim about
The coral that lies beneath the waves
(Lies beneath the ocean waves)
Oh what joy for every girl and boy
Knowing they’re happy and they’re safe
(Happy and they’re safe)
We would be so happy you and me
No one there to tell us what to do
I’d like to be under the sea
In an octopus’ garden with you.
Is sex happening here?
That’s the most action I’ve seen in a very long time. Thank goodness for porn on teh Internets!
Brownian,
I’m glad you don’t see it, either. I figured it was the third (or maybe fourth) Margarita impairing my vision.
Is the picture caption “Octopus vulgaris” the type of octopus or a comment on the picture content?
Z
Spines just get in the way.
At least that’s what I expect they’d think.
But they don’t have fire, which is what happens when your gelatinous (sorta) form is restricted to water. Makes technological development a bitch.

Ahh, a facehugger!
Petey, whatthehell’s your problem with “octopus’s”? It’s gotta scan, man!
And grammatically, you’d only omit the s after the apostrophe for a plural possessive, like “the Smiths’ dog.”
very nice, but i feel that the cuttlefish and nautilus are not being fairly represented in these pictures.
blockquote fail. seems there’s only one k in blockquote.
I have wondered the same thing SO many times! I can’t even keep up with reading it, and I’m out of work.
One hint, tho–I don’t think he reads every post in every 100+ comment section…
Of course I do.
On behalf of everyone, then, I am most sincerely sorry. . . .
He probably has delegated most of his classes and basic labwork … what do you think research assistants and PHD students are for.
