I had a dream once

And it was just like this story of a man and a squid.

More like this

Well, I'm glad that the Giant Squid mainly live in international waters. Because I'm pretty sure that man-cephalopods sex is still a crime in most countries.

Never thought I'd be introduced to a new (to me) Andrew Bird song on this blog. Anyway, he rules and that video rules.

Now that was....interesting !

Never heard of Andrew Bird before,but after seeing this will look into more of his stuff.Thanks for the link PZ !

And now back to another nightshift on the Rick Warren thread....:-)

Heh, if you love the squid it will love you.

Speaking of alternative sexual practices, it has been determined that (gasp!) abstinence pledges do not work. Good job with abstinence-only education, Christians. I suppose it must come as a surprise to the religiously compromised, but an empty promise and some hand waving wont change human nature.

Cath,

Ive been watching this all night,and this is definetely a human spammer,carefully circumventing the blog's "too many comments submitted in a short time" feature.
Disgusting.

Now that was trippy... especially the little man-squidlettes..

Ignore spammers, human ones are like trolls, the are encouraged when real people notice them.

I had the Panda brand once.

Once.

It was worse than what it purported to cure...I literally had to re-install the OS to be rid of it, once it ran out...

No thanks!

The video left me all hot and bothered. Has anyone studied the effects of abstinence pledges on squids?

I had a dream once

I had a horrible feeling it was going to be this...

Excellent video. Animation was so beautifully done. Subtle effects brought the characters to life. Thanks for the link.

Your dream must have felt weird, PZ, without the beard.

I'm with Chad & Sonja--Andrew Bird lover as well, and thrilled to see him featured on my fav site...

i had Robyn Hitchcock's song "It's a Mystic Trip" playing while watching this... worked out quite nicely.

Seconding the recommendation Avira Antivirus.

For those of us who are sufficiently computerilliterate that we still use Window$.

One good thing about the rising popularity of Macs: it can't be long before they reach critical mass for virusification.
