Nature is endless fascinating and often beautiful, but crikey it’s cruel. This is one of the things that led me away from religion. Why would an omnipotent, omniscient creator make so much pain and suffering such a large part of most creatures’ lives, when he could easily have set it up differently? Every day millions, maybe billions, of creatures are eaten alive by other creatures. Throw in ichneumon wasps, loa loa worms, ebola…and I honestly don’t see why everyone doesn’t realize such a creator would necessarily be, you know, evil.
Now I get why they’re called cuddlefish. They see fish and they cuddle them.

He just wants to hug you, with his whole body.
Fine, then. You’re not invited. Hmph.
Poetry? So they are related to Vogons?
Technically, we don’t call it poetry. It’s verse.
Much, much verse.

Is The Ninth REALLY appropriate for all this carnage?
Freude! / Freude! / Freude, schöner Götterfunken and all that???
Oh! And Cuttlefish… your verse is bite-ier than your bark!
Multiverse?
