Random Quote
(Complete listing)The blood in any person is in reality the person himself. … poisons due to personal living, eating and drinking habits … The poisons that produce the impulse to commit suicide, murder, or steal are in the blood. Moral insanity, sexual perversions, repression, inferiority complexes, petty crimes - these often follow in the wake of blood transfusion.
[Watchtower 9/15/61 page 564]

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: arensb | February 9, 2007 8:17 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.

Posted by: djlactin | February 9, 2007 2:02 PM
You mean you don't? I do it all the time.
Just not both at the same time. ;-)

Yeah, I don't think I've ever seen a cephalopod on CO.
Maybe we need the "cute overlords" web site....
