Random Quote

The story of the Roman soldiers falling alseep is too feeble and clumsy to merit serious refutation; and that the soldiers were bribed to say they slept is, if possible, more preposterous still. The penalty while doing sentry work would be death, and it requires a rather liberal bribe to induce a man to offer himself for instant execution. If there be any such bravo on record, I have not heard of him, and I cannot quite see what use the bribe for which he gave his life would be to him, even if he took it with him into his coffin.

Friday Cephalopod: Sinistaire off Bonaire

Seaducer sent me this photo, taken on a dive near Bonaire—the colors and shadows and the meaty, fleshy look of the beast give it a wonderfully baleful look.

I'm not sure that I believe Seaducer's story. That shot has to have been taken near Innsmouth.

I think it's the red eye appearing to scowl at the camera that gives it the wonderfully baleful look.

Wow! I was totally bummed that the main flash didn't fire, I never dreamed that one day my work would make it to Friday Cephalopod!

*sniff sniff* I feel so honored!

Consistent with the fiction references, the whole experience was surreal. I have a couple of videos of the encounter as well, if anyone is interested. Send an email to seaducer at verizon dot net.

Keep in mind they are like 8 megs each.
