Random Quote
The historian, who can take no cognizance of his miraculous birth to the Virgin Mary, has to conclude that his father was Joseph, the son of Jacob (or Heli).

Looks like it needs a seaweed blanket. ZZZZ on.

Don't portray them as cute, I might start feeling bad the next time I eat one.

Dumbo?

Not particularly sorry about it, but this is a bit OT.
However, imagine a US company advertising like this: http://filter.start.no/humor/3002

PZ and the seven cephalopods ?
Snuggly, Squirty, Beaky, Inky, Brainy, Camouflagey and Overlord

If only this damn puppy would take a nap like your squid, I might be able to get some blogging done.

Hard to believe they're in the same phylum as clams. Unlike clams, it seems to me they probably really can be happy. At least that guy has a contented look.

"At least that guy has a contented look."
You think he looks contented? I'm getting a "turn that camera off, I'm trying to sleep here" impression.

Religious in nature, yet both inspiring and uplifting.

Enjoy.

That picture makes me think of Cthulu stumbling out of R'lyeh, yawning and saying "where's the coffee".
Posted by: Evolving Squid | December 19, 2008 10:23 AM
Man, I can't believe I spelled Cthulhu incorrectly, it's written on the shirt I'm wearing today FFS. I guess I need a coffee too.

On a serious note, can anyone tell me if there is there any point in majoring in genetics? or should i stick with biochemistry?

Crash a Norwegian Poll!
Dagbladet.no has an article about a Norwegian "Healer" called "Snåsamannen" (The Man from Snåsa). Recently, a book about the old man was released, and its sold 90000 copies, and thats ALOT in Norway (we have a population of 4.7 million)
Anyway the question is: Whats happening (when he "heals")?
X- Placebo-effect
X- Genuine Healing
X- Superstition
X- Trickery
http://www.dagbladet.no/2008/12/19/nyheter/innenriks/helse/test/4084511/
The poll is in the middle somewhere, and the button Stem! means Vote!
Crash away!
Posted by: BicycleRepairMan | December 19, 2008 10:56 AM
Oh yea, about the poll: "Genuine healing" leads with 60% *ducks in shame of my countrymen and women*

Awwww... another cute picture of Lord Cthulhu when he was a baby.

"That was no Dumbo, that was my wife!"
*sting!*

Man, I can't believe I spelled Cthulhu incorrectly
one spot further back in the line to be eaten for you.

Wow! That's the same color blue as my Araucana chickens eggs.

The Ceph pics are usually awesome, but this one is a little disturbing to me... it looks like a scrotum with eyes...
(But then, I got shot in the head last week and I really shouldn't be out of bed)
