    Is that beastie damaged? It looks as if something took a bite out of it near where the tentacles meet the head (forgive my laymaness if I’m using the wrong terminology for squid anatomy).

    Looks like a big ‘C’; it must have had a run-in with a deranged McCain supporter.

    What? Too soon?

    Laff o’ the day, and no, right on time.

    Deranged McCain support was annoyed by the Obama bumper sitcker on Squidworth’s car?

    How does it catch food? It scares it’s food to death!

    Nay, it it merely its gaze that commands its prey into submission.

    I’ve been looking with awe upon the stuff from Cephalopods: A World Guide. They’re not just pictures, they’re portraits! Somebody’s been picking illustrations with extreme prejudice. I hope the photogs are getting showered with gold for their stunning work.

    Regal?! How un-American! Death to kings!

    He looks sad.

    But to be fair, I’d prolly be pretty sad if I looked like that, too.

    It took me a while to recall the name, but Clement Freud (or accompanying dog!) is the person / mammal of which that cephalopod reminds me – having a droopy, dignified but somewhat disappointed-in-you expression.

    Is it wrong that with every Friday cephalopod, if it is really remarkable, I inevitably ask myself, “I wonder what THAT tastes like”?

    Ima go with no. Bring on the calamari! Bring on the tako!

    PZ:

    Cephalopod identification please! Spaciest thing I’ve seen, looks like someone ripped off Independence Day.

    PZ, get ready to renounce your atheism! I know I have! I’ve discovered the one true faith, and now I can talk to an octopus!
