And Dorid is working on a coloring book.
I have no idea how atheism is getting all tangled up with squid.
Noooooo! It’s another paradox!
This is a Cthulhu birthday cake, but it’s entirely vegan! This is just not right. A Cthulhu cake has to be made of various meats stacked in alien geometries and in a state of corruption and decay, topped with ichor icing.
(Hillary is out to get me because I haven’t reviewed her book yet. Insanity doesn’t make it easier!)
I look at this and feel so conflicted.
Ick, it’s a nativity scene. But it’s got cute squid in it! It’s so christian! With squid! Nativity! But squid!
It’s like it was designed to drive me insane.
Nice t-shirt.
It might confuse people if I wore it, though, since they wouldn’t be aware of the original cartoon.
Their usage statistics are a little surprising. Or not.
Instead of getting a couch, that guy who draws xkcd got a ball pit. This sounds like a good idea, since you can control who gets to use it.
Surely I’m not the only parent who has had the delightful experience of discovering a disposable diaper in the public ball pit? Personally, it kind of turned me off on the whole idea.

Now you can get it on a t-shirt through the University of Texas at Austin School of Biological Sciences. Although, you know, “Texas flavor” does sound like it’s setting up the punchline for a joke.
It’s the week before Thanksgiving. Have you done your Christmas shopping yet?
Deep Sea News recommends a lovely poster. It’s one of those black light posters, so you can have the gaping jaws and needle-like teeth of abyssal predatory fish glowing at you.
Street Anatomy has a list of ten anatomy related gifts…and it’s not the traditional bucket of offal under the tree. Anatomically correct chocolates, brains for cuff links, and the body bags and plush body parts are nice…but the $100 million diamond encrusted skull is a bit over the top. Leave off the superfluous diamonds and just give the gift of bones.
