It's Cephalopod Awareness Day? Already?

The holidays seem to be coming earlier every year, and today is International Cephalopod Awareness Day! Indeed, it's always a good thing to be aware of cephalopods (it's 12 PM, do you know where Architeuthis is?), especially since the consequences of not being so can be rather painful, or at least very inky. Even if you can't celebrate the day via your own blog, why not pick up some cephalopod-based literature? I'm going with Hanlon & Messenger's Cephalopod Behaviour, but whatever you do, be sure to see PZ's collection of links.

And now for something completely different...

Congratulations on moving to ScienceBlogs.

When I try to subscribe with Bloglines, I get a message that there are no RSS feeds available. True? Or a bug with Bloglines?

Hmm... that might just be a problem with this blog being "recognized" as part of SB (I don't think I show up on the sidebar yet). It should be fixed soon, but if you still have problems in a day or two let me know and I'll try to figure out what the problem is.
