Friday Cephalopod: Cuteness!

Category: CephalopodsOrganisms
Posted on: January 27, 2012 2:37 PM, by PZ Myers

The gang at Skepticon are running a poll to design the World's Most Innocuous Atheist Billboard, and they've settled on the message — "Baby Animals Are Cute" — and they've got some choices for you to pick from. I thought I'd help and offer my own suggestion:

See? Far superior to the kittens and puppies they suggest, and it's much more in the spirit of atheism.

DO NOT ARGUE WITH ME. Or Baby Octopus will devour you.

Wrong order entirely, but this quote from Sleep Talkin' Man seems relevant: "Everybody kneel on your swimming towel. It is time to pray to the omnipotent baby squid. (chanting) Squidyyyyyy. Squidyyyyyy."

Is it just me, or are this thing's eyes impossible to find? (And extremely scary when you do find em.) It IS just me? Right. Cough.

Also, how the heck are kittens atheist?

I'll uh, go now.

My daughters' immediate response to baby octopus was "OOOOHHHHH SO CUTE!".

I really liked the billboard signs. I hope they don't use any slogans other than the link to skepticon.org. When I see open ended slogans like that my curiosity nearly kills me till I look up the link to find out what it means.

Well maybe it should say Atheist need love too!
