This is a lttle prayer dedicated to the separation of church and state. I guess if they are going to force those kids to pray in schools they might as well have a nice prayer like this:
Our Father who art in heaven, and to the republic for which it stands, thy kingdom come, one nation indivisible as in heaven, give us this day as we forgive those who so proudly we hail. Crown thy good into temptation but deliver us from the twilight's last gleaming. Amen and Awomen.

Shelley had her weird cake article, but it failed to include this bizarre masterpiece.
I can't quite imagine why a cephalopod would want to do that, when there are so many attractive molluscs in the sea.
YES! Send me a free issue of Seed.
If I like what I see, I'll receive 5 more issues (6 in all) for just $19.95. If I'm not completely satisfied, I'll simply write "cancel" on the invoice and owe nothing. The free issue is mine to keep.

Tentacle hentai -- two words that should never have been put together.

Can't really eat mollusks all the time, can you?

Is that Barbie?

In US you eat mollusc, in Soviet Russia mollusc eat you.

To be fair to Shelly hers were Nerdy cakes.
"I can't quite imagine why a cephalopod would want to do that, when there are so many attractive molluscs in the sea."
What makes you think it wasn't just having a meal?

Which link leads you to others on the same site...
one of which leads you to http://www.virtualroadside.com/fortune/ ...
which generates random quotes with random ASCII art ...
which includes an option for "offensive atheist" quotations...
some of which are pretty good:

Hey PZ,
That cephalopod is not having sex with barbie! He's eating her! Doesn't cephalopod sex have something to do with the male puting a dab of sperm on the female with his tentacle? Not as intrusive as mammalian sex?

Didn't you learn from the "Tentacle Sex" episode?
Expect a whole bunch of creepy searches to end up here.

As the creator of the cake I have to say I was inspired by the combination of "Creepy half a barbie on a stick to put on a cake" (the dolls have no lower legs, just a toothpick) and the octopus cake pan sold by Williams and Sonoma for a very brief period...it seems they've been pulled from the shelves.
The flickr set for all the pictures of my cake is here FYI.

Graculus,
I'm already getting search traffic for "hentai birthday"... That blog post made me the first hit on Google.
