Respectful Insolence

"A statement of fact cannot be insolent." The miscellaneous ramblings of a surgeon/scientist on medicine,
quackery, science, pseudoscience, history, and pseudohistory (and anything else that interests him)

Who (or what) is Orac?

orac.jpg Orac is the nom de blog of a (not so) humble pseudonymous surgeon/scientist with an ego just big enough to delude himself that someone, somewhere might actually give a rodent's posterior about his miscellaneous verbal meanderings, but just barely small enough to admit to himself that few will. (Continued here, along with a DISCLAIMER that you should read before reading any medical discussions here.)

Orac's old Blog is archived at Archived Insolence.

Cephalopod Awareness Day?

Category: Biology • News of the Weird • Science
Posted on: October 6, 2007 11:00 AM, by Orac

I know I've said before that I don't really "get" the whole cephalopod thing that P. Z. has, but I wonder if he's heard of this little thing:

Monday, October 8 is Unofficial International Cephalopod Awareness Day.

Certainly, I hadn't.

Orac, I fear I will be driven insane or outright consumed for revealing this; these dark secrets that have consumed the sanity of our people accross time and space.

PZ is not, as he has so ardently claimed, an atheist. He is a member, perhaps even a leader, of a secret cult possesed of themselves to bring back the terrible rule of the Elder Gods.

PZ is a Cthulhu cultist. His cephalopod obsession is all part of his attempt to align him self with the dark powers that will be once again awoken when sleeping Cthulhu is risen from darkest R'lyeh.

For myself, I keep content with caring for my goat. The m@#!$#*!@$#r has more young than you could imagine. Like a thousand of them.

That's okay. He's probably confused about that thing between you and Eneman.

For the record, yes PZ has. He posted on it earlier today.
