Octopus at the Natural History Museum in London, England.

As soon as I saw this sculpture on a pillar at the Natural History Museum in London, I thought of one person. Guess who that person was? You have three guesses and the first two don't count.

Wow, that's a freaky coincidence, I took a picture of the same sculpture (well it might not be the very same - I think there's several of them around) when I went to the Natural History Museum last year,

I guess reading pharyngula raises one's cephalopod awareness.

A southern woman told me one day, when I mentioned I liked the pillars on the old plantation homes said,
"Thems columns, A pillars what you put your head on at night".

Personally I take great offence of this kind of portrayal of FSM (The Flying Spaghetti Monster), and I think it could be worth a lawsuit.

Where did you take the picture?
Wht date?
How long have they been up for display

This is an outrage.
