He was Igor, son of Igor, nephew of several Igors, brother of Igors and cousin of more Igors than he could remember without checking up in his diary. Igors did not change a winning formula. {Footnote: Especially if it was green, and bubbled.}

The Friday Cephalopod is one more reason to say TGIF. PZ, do you know how many there are still to go? (Ignoring the fact we probably haven't even discovered or described them all yet.)
