PZ Myers' Friday Cephalopods

[Aggie]

A "mob of squidlings"  (Oxford version)
A "maul of squidlings" (Cambridge version)
A "boiling of squidlings" (Scottish version)
A "banquet of squidlings" (Japanese version)

I think the first two apply best to the Monastery.   


_{but I like the last two better - how about a breading, a fry or a simmer?}

[Pachyderm]

The Scottish version would definitely be a "Deep-Fry of Squidlings"

[Swatopluk]

Beware or they will sing Squids wha hae to you in no uncertain terms

Take a look at the second video for a bit of cuttlefish prawn.

(not up to the usual standards though imo)

Another squidling.

[Swatopluk]

Made from lapislazuli I presume

Ooh- I love lapis! I have a nice pair of lapis earrings.

You're right, Swato today's squidlikes are lapis-like!

[Sibling Zono (anon1mat0)]

It seems more like a visual effect and the squid is translucent (and dinner inside).

[Sibling DavidH]

That's the front half of a pig inside.  This is a really big specimen. 

[Swatopluk]

Here a nice family portrait for a change

[Aphos]

Ah.

Cthulhu isn't all bad.

[Sibling DavidH]

OK, but how the */?!* do you fit a nappy on that baby?

[Aggie]

Given the excretory set up on a cephalopod, where would it even come out?  It might need a colostomy bag instead.

[Sibling DavidH]

I wish I hadn't started thinking about that ...
