magistramarla says 31 October 2014 at 11:00 am Squee! The Monterey Bay! Now I’m homesick again. I would so rather be in Monterey than in awful Texas.
Trebuchet says 31 October 2014 at 11:36 am @1, Becca: In case you’re serious: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vampire_squid Technically it seems to be neither a squid nor an octopus, but somewhere in between.
Denverly says 31 October 2014 at 12:51 pm My favorite aquarium. I’ve seen all the juvenile white sharks they have had there. So freaking beautiful.
opposablethumbs says 31 October 2014 at 1:34 pm Beautiful, tasteful and seasonal. Thank you, PZ – and a happy Halloween to you and yours too, and of course to the Horde.
Gregory Greenwood says 31 October 2014 at 2:14 pm Ph’nglui mglw’nafh Cthulhu R’lyeh wgah’nagl fhtagn!
dreikin says 31 October 2014 at 3:48 pm The other cards are neat too. The viperfish looks like it came from (or inspired) Alien. @Trebuchet: I think you misread that. I did too, but the words aren’t in the order you think they’re in.
Olav says 31 October 2014 at 6:55 pm I still wonder why they are called “vampire squid from Hell”. I mean, they are nothing but. Quite harmless little beasts actually. Not even very active. Unless you are small enough to be on the menu of course.
