Everybody is sending me links to this spectacular cake, but none of them answer the question, “WHY?”
I mean, it could be for PZ Myers’ birthday party, but that’s almost 6 months away, and I never got an invitation; it could be for some member of the cephalopod cult’s entry into manhood at 13; it could be for my wake, but I’m not dead yet. I am mystified as I marvel.
Here’s a blog post on the French naturalist Jean Painlevé which I can’t read, because it’s in French, of all things, but I can look at the pictures…and hey, those Frenchmen do like their innuendos and salacious slipperiness.
I think that may be the raciest video I’ve ever posted here…whew.
Mark (Monty) Montague was an occasional commenter here, and a major contributor at TONMO with a passion for cephalopods. I’m sorry to report that he died in in a diving accident this summer. There will be a memorial service on 2 October at Caltech.
Quick, accelerate the campaign of world conquest before anyone else catches on.

At least Colbert confesses to having an extensive collection of squid photographs. We could bond over that; perhaps we should bring him over to our side…?
No, everyone who is sending me this photo, that is not a picture of my home life.
I’ll have you know that the arrangement my wife and I have is that I do the cooking, she does the dishes.
However, I will concede that this picture might count as TrophyWife™ porn.
Look at this: a colossal squid washed up on a beach near Wellington, and all the little kiwis came out to play.
I’m jealous. This never happens in Morris, Minnesota.
