    EVENTS

    Blessed is San Diego, for it shall be eaten first

    It’s a regular event nowadays that the Humboldt squid move up the coast of California, stirring up a little hysteria as they go. These are big squid and they can be aggressive, but San Diego is probably safe.

    Probably.

    Although you might wonder why a cephalopod enthusiast lives in Minnesota, about as far from the sea as anyone can get…

    It’s an omen!

    First, California is hit with a small earthquake (that never happens, does it?) and then…the squid appear.

    Ia! Ia! Cthulhu fhtagn!

    It’s sweet how the Californians try to throw them back in the sea. Have they no knives, no garlic, no pans with hot oil? Because if the squid did, we know what they’d do.

    Charles Darwin vs. a giant squid

    Awesome.

    i-605585877531915074997edc09b3f16e-darwin_squid.jpeg

    Note, however, that it reiterates that odd theme of one-eyed squid that we see all over the place.
