    Random cephalopodia

    People send me things that put lust in my heart.

    i-c3487d4b1c8ee8d6d21c666542421341-ceph_archibald.jpg

    I want one of these.


    i-e6b67858ecfe8643f1a72b304385b0fc-ceph_kites.jpg

    I want some of these, too.


    i-56fecfbb9c70a94fa26b18fea645501d-ceph_seal.jpg

    I need a seal like this so I can stamp all my official correspondence with it.


    Clearly, there will be a future need for Space Squid Conservationists.

    Cephalopods in strange places

    MinnObserver sent me this photo from the state fair: even here in the midwest, people are gluing seeds into the form of very angry octopuses. Portents? Omens? Subconscious resonance with the Great Old Ones? Who knows.

    i-8f0e4301cab4a4917fe8324b58a1ee22-octo_seed_art.jpg

    Also, Mark Chu-Carroll finds a similarly ominous sculpture. It looks to be in the strange genre of cyclopic cephalopods.

    Proof of concept

    Plans for my army of zombie cephalopod-cyborgs proceed apace. First target: Holland!

    Go ahead, open the dikes—nothing will stop them.

    Let’s wash the taste of that last video out of our mouths, OK?

    They’re rather dark and murky, but here: home movies of a creature smarter than any fundamentalist.

    Scary bedtime story

    i-ae5fe40661a0c3ba5331f179f11e0fd9-lio_20K_leagues.gif

    It’s cute, but where did this cartoon convention of one-eyed cephalopods get started?

    I would be a faboo interior decorator, I’m sure

    i-395271c9880843c22bfad133b8de77d3-popcling_squid.jpg

    Oooh, I love this idea: art prints on a plastic adhesive that you just stick on the wall. They’ve got squid art! Unfortunately, they’ve also got a hefty price, and doubly unfortunately, my wife has this annoying thing called “taste” which precludes me slapping squid up everywhere in my house.

    See what I mean?

    People like the Disgruntled Chemist see stuff like this, and they just think, “PZ!”

    i-22d0359b969906d7ddd8b036363240a7-squid_chunks.jpg

    Of course, it is breakfast time, and I’m thinking…man oh man, I could go for a big bowl of tasty Squid Chunks right now. Mmmm-mmmm. Piquant, and they slide down so smooth and easy.

    I could be their ‘celebrity’ pitchman!
