Somebody likes the squidgirls

So do I, although I favor more squid, less girl.

(Should be work-safe, since any nudity is tasteful, and human-animal chimeras aren't that offensive, are they? Besides, you should be at home, loosening your belt and letting that nice feast settle.)

There is currently much debate over the ethics of chimeras -- organisms that are partially one species and partially another. This debate is especially heated when humans are one of the species involved. Nature has published an editorial on the controversy. I don't intend to comment on the…

I didn't listen to the State of the Union Address last night, preferring to maintain my equanimity by attending a talk on quantum physics, but I knew I could trust my readers to email me with choice weird science bits. I'm getting a lot of "WTF?" email about this statement from Bush: Tonight I ask…

The occasional poking of fun at Furries here leads me to ask: Aren't these the same things, just invertebrate versions?

Rather than Furries, are they maybe Slimies, or Wrigglies?

... Although "Wrigglies" makes them sound chewable, at least.

Found my next Tat.

Thanks PZ.

You can have the more squid girl. However, I think this one has the perfect amount of squid. I also like the one with some transformer mixed in.

Squid & girl...& Starscream?

That's beyond strange...

I collect bizarre and surreal pictures.

Needless to say, I've just widened my collection slightly. Danke.

Well, this is more mer than furry, but furry includes things like 'featheries', 'scalies' etc. It's just that terrestrial mammals are by far the most popular.

Umm, I think they're octopus-girls. None of them have more than 8 tentacles, and those tentacles look (to my culinary-trained eye, IANA marine biologist) more like octopus than calamari.

"[Y]ou should be at home, loosening your belt[.]"

Ahem.

Well, Bush was apparently concerned enough about the development of "human-animal hybrids" to mention them in his State of the Union address one year, so maybe they are offensive, at least to some people!

I think it's a strange and beautiful picture. Thank you for posting it, and have a good Thanksgiving!

I spent yesterday working, and had a nice noodle dinner on my own. Had a much better time than I would have had stuffing my face surrounded by relatives.

Taking a look at all the sexual drawing subcultures that exist thanks to the internet, there is already a fetish called Goo which actually are (mostly) slime girls (and sometimes a gooboy).

Well, I don't think I'm allowed to post links to them (definitely NSFW) but you can google it if you're interested. ;)

But you probably didn't want that much details, did you? ;)

See! The creationists are wrong!
The squid girl is a perfect example of evolutionary process.
But why are there still squids and girls?
