It's still Friday, isn't it? Some of you have noticed there was some screw-up in post scheduling, which has been fixed now…and here at last is the Friday Cephalopod. Sepia sp. Figure from Cephalopods: A World Guide (amzn/b&n/abe/pwll), by Mark Norman.

aaah... the aero(hydro?)dynamic shape, and the race-stripes are giving it that extra-sporty look :-)

Does it have twin siphons? :-)

But is it a V8 or a V10? ;-)

Sepia? Nah, it looks like it's been upgraded to black and white.

Petrol or Diesel engine ?

Go-faster stripes! That really is a Cool Cuttle!

I don't care what you squid fans say, cuttlefish are the highest form of life on this planet.

Zoom Zoom.

That must be a hell of a fast cephalopod.

Sniny, yes, but what's the insurance on a midlife crisis cuttlefish?

Yay, Friday!

Rorschach @6,

Petrol or Diesel engine ?

Mitochondrial warp drive?

In addition to the racing stripe package, I like the sleek hood line between the body and head.

Shouldn't that have been a T8 or T10?

I was thinking more along the lines of:

is that with fries or salad?

Or is it just me?

SEF has indeed won the thread. Happy tentacles a'body.

YAY! thanks, PZ! you've officially made my week(end). I less than 3 Cuttlefish >w>
