This movie of mating octopuses is beautiful…but the narrator speaks in this husky French voice that makes it sound horribly lewd, like a dirty old man. Even better!

I worry about of Montreal's musical motor, pop genius Kevin Barnes. He first got records out in 1997-98, when he was an elegantly naivistic singer of sad love songs. Then he shot like a lysergic rocket straight into Pepperland with four beatlesque albums in 1999-2004. On his 2005 album he suddenly…
Game over, man. No cat video can ever be as awesome as this: two mimic octopuses mating.
It's like watching a nest of snakes break out into a barroom brawl. It's also the most erotic thing I've ever seen on the internet.

As swamped as I've been for the past two weeks, I nonetheless found time to visit the Virginia Antiquarian Book Fair on April 28. It was held at the Library of Virginia in Richmond.
The drive to Richmond is a little over two hours each way, and I had to leave the fair early to hold a…
I know what a documentary film is. I know what fiction is. And I know what a mockumentary is: a fictional documentary. Sizzle: A Global Warming Comedy attempts to combine these approaches within the framework of comedic fiction, and it left me really confused.

You're full of it today PZ!
"There's no officially sanctioned position for doing that"
Hey! That's my favorite position too!
Well you know what they say, nature shows god's love. Or perhaps another way of putting it, his attempted rape.
The IDiots may be odious, but they do seem to be moving away from the idea of a beneficent god, officially.
I suppose one should listen to them at their churches, though, since if they can force science to encompass theology, they can turn around and force theology to accept once more that god is love, no matter the brief lapse necessary to re-theologize society.

I'm lovin this Wikipedia bit on "Octopus" :
"It is believed that in thousands of years from now during the process of evolution octopi will adapt to a dryer environment such as our land for instance. Climbing and swinging from trees will be the main form of transporation."
Re; Wikipedia article on octopi:
Wow. Someone's been taking Dougal Dixon's books a little too literally.
Not that arboreal octopi would be a bad thing ... start typing the screenplay now ...
I was wondering where the idea for tree octopi came from. I was thinking D&D - heck, it's probably in D&D already.
You know, with their high intelligence, tree octopi could be arboreal mages. Their cunning would also make for excellent (albeit freakish) rogues.
I suppose playing D&D is freakish enough. I fly my freak flag high.
You're right PZ, I speak french and the guy sounds creepy, like the old pedophile in Family guys.
This is too much...I don't know what to think!
Cephalopod porn is so..so..squirmy...the special arm, the French narration...
Porn will just never be the same for me...

OMG, I can't stop laughing! It's like aquatic Pepe LePeu!

Really, they should not be able to say such things.

I haven't seen the clip yet, but from your description I'm reminded by the French bowling guy that Marge met in The Simpsons...
How wonderful it would be
