Thanks, Craig. While I always find your cephalopod posts entertaining, I'm afraid that your new upstart has raised, er, lowered the bar considerably with his last posting on the reproductive lives of bone-eating worms. Now, if we just played around with your "double tentacle bifurcation"... on second thought, scratch that idea!
