Friday Cephalopod: Study in Blue Cuttlefish

Wow. Utterly beautiful. That image would make a lovely piece of artwork for the wall (though I'm guessing the girlfriend would raise significant objections).

I think a poem would be appropriate in here somewhere.....

If some mad scientist ever finds a way to graft cuttlefish eyes into humans, I'm so in line for that operation. I want to make my little Ws with pupils! They look so mean too when they get aggressive. It's like 100 times better than what we can do with our eyebrows to look mad.

Great photo! According to Wikipedia, sepia latimanus is the second largest cuttlefish species, and can grow to 50 cm in mantle length and 10 kg in weight.

Beautiful! And I'm glad the Friday Cephalopod is back! I really missed it last week! :(

Yay!!! Friday Cephalapod is back.

That's a cute fish.
