Random Quote

When we speak of the Christian religion at it's most rudimentary level we must always be caustious to reserve our estimations as to who and what we are dealing with. You see, were it not for it's folowers, there might have been some value to these Christian virtues. However, with what this dogmatic system has become as a result of it's spokespeople, it is best to steer clear of this bastardized religion.

You didn't mention their common name, which is "Southern Dumpling squid". Best common name ever.

Markk:
Is that anything like a "hush puppy squid"?

Posted by: Markk | February 9, 2007 9:06 AM

Perhaps more similar to a "Turducken squid"?

New name for the category: Squid, nautilus, whatever - it's all Octoporn.

Cute little dumplings. If you were going to categorise octoporn (or cephaloporn) systematically, it should probably aim to include all the standard squid sex positions. Not that the squid seem to need much in the way of educational materials.

That is so hot. Are you going to start charging with PayPal soon?

PZ must have been a consultant for this episode of Monty Python's Flying Circus.

These little guys (or guy and girl) really should be shared with CuteOverload. They never have enough li'l-bunny-lookin' molluscs on that site.
