Random Quote
Consider this. If a paranormalist could really give an unequivocal demonstration of telepathy (precognition, psychokinesis, reincarnation, whatever it is), he would be the discoverer of a totally new principle unknown to physical science. The discoverer of the new energy field that links mind to mind in telepathy, or of the new fundamental force that moves objects around a table top, deserves a Nobel prize and would probably get one. If you are in possession of this revolutionary secret of science, why not prove it and be hailed as the new Newton? Of course, we know the answer. You can't do it. You are a fake.

It's about time you featured this magnificent bugger...
So when are you going to feature the other 10 species?

How cute!

Has anyone answered the question of how similar current nautiloids are to the ancient nautiloids? Would it be wrong to consider this thing a living fossil?

AND a photo showing all of the Nautilus, please?
As well as all the other remainig nautiloids....

So. I was using this as an icon, and someone assumed I read your blog, so then I read your blog.
And now I read your blog, and I thought you might appreciate the cephalopod art. The cephalopod invader one is kinda fun too.
Anyway, thanks for being vocal clever and spreading scientific love throughout the land.

just saw this on the preshrunk t-shirt blog (posted yesterday, so not quite another friday cephalopod) -- fits nicely with the "looking at you": http://preshrunk.info/2006/09/octopus-ink.php
and a $6 t-shirt! can't really go wrong...

What no comment on the Lio strip today? Lio is seen letting his cephalopod play in a park pool in violation of the leash law. And, today, that cephalopod has binocular vision!
