That reminds of something… what could it be? Oh, yes.
For thousands more years the mighty ships tore across the empty wastes of space and finally dived screaming on to the first planet they came across–which happened to be the Earth — where due to a terribble miscalculation of scale the entire battle fleet was accidently swallowed by a small dog.

I’m impressed that the owner of the foot had the fortitude to take a photo. I’d be too busy screaming and flailing uselessly.
Oh wow, how awesome. I wish a sweet little octopus (or any cephalopod really) would come hang out on my foot.

Cool, I learned something new today:
“Blue-ringed octopuses (genus Hapalochlaena) … are recognized as one of the world’s most venomous marine animals.” “… its venom is powerful enough to kill humans. There is no blue-ringed octopus antivenom available.”
I’ll buy that for a dollar!

Obviously an Australian foot. The owner’s saying “maaate… I’ve found a blue-ringed octopus.”
His friend says “strewth…aren’t they deadly?”
First guy says “yep”, casually flicks it off, “let’s go for a beer”.

Snoof, I think if blue rings suddenly appeared on that that little critter (it’s about the right size), there would be screaming and flailing…
well, for a few minutes anyway.

#14: No need for antivenom – all the venom does is to paralyze the muscles, causing suffocation. Ventilation (for a few hours) is usually sufficient.

ralfmuschall – sure, but you need to get to a hospital with a ventilator rig first. If, say, you’re on the Great Barrier Reef…

That’s an ambitious little invertebrate!
If it eats the whole human, does it get the meal for free? Or at least a t-shirt?

I can barely see this week’s cephalopod. Cool, though.

Aww, isn’t it cute? Look at the pretty blue rings… Honey? Why are you frothing at the mouth & screaming in agony?
