You're all wondering where the Friday Cephalopod might be…it's delayed. I'm spending my day in seclusion in my secret lair, hammering out some work that's already way overdue, and I don't have access to a scanner or my books or any technology beyond the necessities for writing. I will put it up later.

Hmmm. The 5th image down looks suspiciously like the woo apparatus from Orac's Friday Woo post.

Convergence?
The second one gives me an idea for a new project. Hmmm...
Is that a whisk?
Happy 50th PZ!
Hey, cool, Erika Moen. I see her at comic book conventions all the time here in Portland.
After seeing what a cephalopod can do to a shark, I think I would be hesitant to become amorously involved with one. Other humans are risky enough as it is.
Um, I'm referring to the third item above, not to PZ...

Just stumbled onto this blog. I think I'm in love...
