Something different this week: click the image and see David Gallo present a series of short video clips of cephalopods in action.
How sweet: this octopus got a Mr Potato Head for Christmas, and now he won’t let anyone take it away.
Hasbro really must come out with a new line of Mr Potato Head features that includes beaks and suckers and tentacles, and then they’ll have the cephalopod market completely locked up.
In case you have a tough time keeping the squid family tree straight, here’s a nifty simple diagram of cephalopod evolution.
And if that’s too complicated for you, there’s always the Intelligent Design version.
It’s proof of life after calamari!
All those kids who are expecting a white-bearded fat man to drop down the chimney are going to get a surprise on ‘podmas.
They keep catching me on my bad days!
Hey, somebody went to the Cephalopod Appreciation Society show in Seattle — and Tikistitch came back with pictures! I love the idea of suede squid draped decoratively about the house, but at $2500 each they are a little bit out of my price range.
She has also discovered a Japanese fashion doll with a pet Cthulhu. It sounds neat, but ewww. The Chtulhu figure is cute and cuddly, but the doll…that noseless face, the tiny mouth that can only be good for sucking up fluids, the huge insectoid eyes taking up half her face. <shudder> It would give me nightmares.
