PZ and the seven cephalopods ?
Snuggly, Squirty, Beaky, Inky, Brainy, Camouflagey and Overlord

Hard to believe they're in the same phylum as clams. Unlike clams, it seems to me they probably really can be happy. At least that guy has a contented look.

"At least that guy has a contented look."

You think he looks contented? I'm getting a "turn that camera off, I'm trying to sleep here" impression.

On a serious note, can anyone tell me if there is there any point in majoring in genetics? or should i stick with biochemistry?

Crash a Norwegian Poll!

Dagbladet.no has an article about a Norwegian "Healer" called "Snåsamannen" (The Man from Snåsa). Recently, a book about the old man was released, and its sold 90000 copies, and thats ALOT in Norway (we have a population of 4.7 million)

Anyway the question is: Whats happening (when he "heals")?

X- Placebo-effect
X- Genuine Healing
X- Superstition
X- Trickery

The poll is in the middle somewhere, and the button Stem! means Vote!

Crash away!

Man, I can't believe I spelled Cthulhu incorrectly

one spot further back in the line to be eaten for you.

Wow! That's the same color blue as my Araucana chickens eggs.

The Ceph pics are usually awesome, but this one is a little disturbing to me... it looks like a scrotum with eyes...

(But then, I got shot in the head last week and I really shouldn't be out of bed)

I can has more upside-down snacks please.
