Right, I've been staring at this for some time now and still can't find Waldo.
Can anyone help?

The octopus is, truly, the barrel cactus of the sea.
The barrel cactus, incidentally, is the Wilford Brimley of the desert.

That is neither a picture of tentacles nor Waldo. It's a overview shot from a Sunday morning at a typical evangelical church.

AH! All these cephalopods on a Friday afternoon make me hungry for good Greek cooking! Especially on a cold winter day like today...
