Shouldn't that read "tableau éviter ma pression?" If that doesn't translate properly, please bear in mind the French is not my forte.
Posted by: Acronym Jim | June 12, 2009 10:51 AM
Ahem: "that French is not my forte."
Apparently, neither is English.

Yay, cuttlefish.
I don't know why, but they're my favorite cephalopods. Maybe because they look all curmudgeonly, but with a cuteness that means you can't take it seriously.

I have to say, as a scuba diver and (very) amateur underwater photographer, that not only are the critters quite loverly, but the picture is quite beautifully framed as well. Very nice composition.

5 cutlefish in one picture (and 27 ninjasquids). Cool.

Re #1
Another WTF picture I thought would be a favorite here. (even if the consensus there is that it is photoshopped)

@11, but I saw Jesus in my bacon.
Course, the two hits of acid might have helped with that.

@1, nice, and well worth seeing again.
But FYI, PZ posted it a while back.

Yeah, but can they whip out delightfully witty and insightful poems at a moment's notice?
Posted by: John Scanlon, FCD | June 13, 2009 3:27 AM
Yes, I can see that the one in full profile with gracefully outspread arms would be Sepia pharaonis, but what species are the others? Their poses are definitely outside the Egyptian stylistic canon.
While we're doing Sepia, I occasionally serve fried calamari rings as interlinked pairs. Anyone else here know how to do that?
