Random Quote
We are asked to justify these frightful passages, these infamous laws of war, because the Bible is the word of God. As a matter of fact, there never was, and there never can be, an argument even tending to prove the inspiration of any book whatever. In the absence of positive evidence, analogy and experience, argument is simply impossible, and at the very best, can amount only to a useless agitation of the air. The instant we admit that a book is too sacred to be doubted, or even reasoned about, we are mental serfs. It is infinitely absurd to suppose that a god would Address a communication to intelligent beings, and yet make it a crime, to be punished in eternal flames, for them to use their intelligence for the purpose of understanding his communication. If we have the right to use our reason, we certainly have the right to act in accordance with it, and no god can have the right to punish us for such action.
[Robert G. Ingersoll, "The Gods", 1872]

It looks strangely leopard-like to me...

It's cute, but it looks like it has a mean streak about it, like a 90'ies glow-in-the-dark squid version of Marvin the Martian. It wants to kill you, but you still want to cuddle it.

I like the translucent fins with the spots. I had a shower curtain with that motif. Its tentacles look like its doing the macarena.

That cute little guy is probably thinking, "How tasty" when he sees someone like us.
