PZ Myers' Friday Cephalopods

High on some controlled substance I presume

If you look closely you'll see it's a hyperspace torpedo emerging from the forward port tube of a series XXVII cruiser in the Whoople Spaceforce.

This week, a close up of a cuttlefish eye.

I wish that cuttlefish would wipe that smug grin off it's eye!

What is it?

It's, it's...it's GREEN.

(Can anyone tell me where those lines are from?)

[Sibling DavidH]

Star drek?  (I didn't know, but I googled it.)

I think, also, one of the second Blackadder series.

Yup, original Star Trek.  Scotty, who is drinking a alien under the table.

Here  is the Blackadder 'green' sketch I mentioned.

[Opsa]

Pardon my off topic, but Blackadder II is certainly among the finest comedy seasons ever produced on television. There, I've said it. Now, how to link it with cephalopods?

[Sibling DavidH]

In this script we find the following lines:


B: And this is mine (takes a small piece of paper from the front of his
   trousers). My magnificent octopus

E: (takes it) This is your novel, Baldrick? (unfolds it)

B: Yeah -- I can't stand long books.

E: (reads) "Once upon a time, there was a lovely little sausage
   called `Baldrick', and it lived happily ever after."

It's Blackadder III, not II, but never mind.

[Aphos]

Looks Christmasy.

[Swatopluk]

Also like a comet

[Sibling DavidH]

It appears to have swallowed a poodle.  I hope the dog just fell in water; I'd hate to think the squid slithered up a beach and grabbed it. 

[Opsa]

Maybe it was one of those Portuguese Water Dogs.

[Sibling DavidH]

If so, the squid is even bigger than I thought!

Here's a fine specimen of a robot octopus or octroid.
