That one obviously got overrun by the machine that paints the white lines in the middle of the highway

Pity, really, it's no longer any use for making bagpipes.

[Opsa]

He'd be a handsome set of bagpipes, too. What kind is he, Aphos?

According to PZ...

Octopus cyanea

The Wikipedia article is very short...

The Big Blue Octopus (Octopus cyanea), also known as the Day Octopus and Cyane's Octopus, is an octopus in the family Octopodidae. It occurs in both the Pacific  and Indian Oceans, from Hawaii to the eastern coast of Africa.[1]

O. cyanea grows to 16 cm in mantle length with arms to at least 80 cm.[1]

The type specimen was collected off Australia and is deposited at The Natural History Museum in London.

That one is just too adorable. It looks like he's wearing shoes!

[Swatopluk]

Is that the green Peanuts squid? (Charlie Brown and company also have their feet attached directly to the upper body without much of legs)

[Sibling DavidH]

Looks a lot like Snoopy, indeed.

BTW...just to let you all know, PZ posts "Mary's Monday Metazoans" on...you got it...Mondays.  Some more good animal pictures on PZ's blog Pharyngula.

Mary, IIRC, is PZ's "Trophy Wife(tm)".

Hmmm... dunno about that trademark, Garner Andrews has been on about the Trophy Wife for years, and he's far from the first to use the term.

Well, all I can say is that PZ uses the trademark.

Maybe there is a Trophy Wives R Us somewhere.

[Aggie]

There is, I've seen ads for it.

Doesn't go by that name, but there are such dating services.

[Opsa]

Hey- I'm a Trophy Wife!

_{(Honorable Mention gets a trophy, right?)}

Squid in love.
