Random Quote

It is the man of science, eager to have his every opinion regenerated, his every idea rationalized, by drinking at the fountain of fact, and devoting all the energies of his life to the cult of truth, not as he understands it, but as he does not yet understand it, that ought properly to be called a philosopher.

Charles Pierce

Oh pointy pods, oh pointy pointy...

I wonder if there are any more poems about cephalopods, because there probably should be.

It looks like a very pointy, spotted fingernail. Definitely time for new glasses.

Adapting a verse from England's Greatest One-Armed Poet:

O pointy squid, o pointy pointy,
Anoint my head, anointy-nointy.
