I'm going to dope myself up and flop into bed so I can get over this slimy cold — and speaking of slimy cold, here are some deep sea creatures to tide you over for a bit.

It's a cold day here in Lake Woebegone southeast Michigan. I'm looking out the kitchen window at the thermometer: +11 F, which is apparently the same -11 C. From my kitchen table, I can see the neighbors let out the dog, who seems unfazed by the cold. He's some sort of little fuzzy white dog and…
A new multi-part special, Wild Mississippi will be first aired on February 12 at 6 Central on National Geographic Wild. I can't watch this when it is on because I don't get the channel on my TV, but I copped a review copy and have enjoyed it quite a bit.
Here's the description of the first…
I should preface this with a note that I am one of the world's worst nature photographers. I don't have a very fancy camera, and I'm not terribly good at spotting critters at the best of times, so my best pictures are of relatively immobile creatures like the crab in yesterday's post. Still, I find…
Over at NoTricksZone they claim they're desperate to bet that (Arctic) sea ice will increase, not decrease, in the "future". However, the cheapskates are only offering $1k, which isn't worth getting out of bed for out to 2022. I offered them $10k, and a closer date, and guess what - they jumped at…
No wonder the cephalopods are PZ's favorites. Amazing watching them become part of their surroundings.
Fantastic!! This actually brought tears to my eyes they're so cool.
I've been doing it all wrong... all the females at the beach catch a glimpse of my ghostly white skin.
Brilliant. I've seen that last clip before, but not in reverse! I can't wait to follow advances in deep-see exploration; those creatures make Windows Media Player's visualisations look positively pedestrian.
... and the obligatory acknowledgement that my last comment contains an embarrassing spelling error which I noticed just after hitting submit and helplessly stared at for 20 seconds while the comment slowly went through.
If you have serious coughing, Theraflu is great stuff. One dose lasts about four hours, and then the coughing will wake you up again, but just take some more. Seriously good stuff.
PZ, you are probably suffering mercury poisoning from all those exotic-disease immunisations you had to get to travel to Ireland.
I suggest you poop in a colander to see if there's anything unusual in your excreta.
Thanks PZ thats going to give me great dreams
Cephalopod, it's what's for dinner!
Damn that was incredible!
"intelligent Design"????
(title at the start)
What was that talk about and who was that?
With all the amazing things to see and understand all around us, who want to bury themselves in superstition's ignorant darkness?
I feel your pain PZ, I've had a monster of a cold since Friday
The last one is particularly great. Even in reverse I can't see it "after" it changes.
I can't help but wonder if cephalopods haven't already taken over dry(ish) land and a just waiting to stri
Sorry for going off topic, but does anyone know WTF is going on at the RD discussion board?
They announced there was 39 days to copy out stuff before changing format, but I can't access it at all now.
looks a bit like a meltdown - the membership of the board don't seem to want the forthcoming changes foisted on them - not even RD can herd cats:)
