Random Quote

W. V. O. Quine has been one of the most ruthless of recent appliers of this principle [Ockham's razor.] I recall an exchange in print (a fest-schrift, around 1980) where someone quoted Shakespeare's "There are more things on heaven and earth, than are dreamed of in your philosophy" at Quine. Quine responded something like, "Possibly, but my concern is that there not be more things in my philosophy than are in heaven and earth.

Friday Cephalopod: Sinistaire off Bonaire

Category: CephalopodsOrganisms

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.
