Random Quote
Naturalistic evolution has clear consequences that Charles Darwin understood perfectly. 1) No gods worth having exist; 2) no life after death exists; 3) no ultimate foundation for ethics exists; 4) no ultimate meaning in life exists; and 5) human free will is nonexistent.
William Provine

How come they call it "telescope" octopus?
Telescoping eyes?

This might be something of a dumb question: did they put it under UV to make it glow like that, or is it just an effect of the light it was photographed in?

Amazing. Yet another example of their superiority and inevitable dominance in the evolutionary chain. Bet he can cut it up on the dance floor as well.
