Ok, this is way technical, but has some cool stuff about cephalopod evolution.

Wow!  That looks like something one of my grandmas would have made in 'Ceramics Class'.   :o

Awesome post! It got me thinking that this planet could perfectly be a version of the Mon Calamari if the life span of cephalopods were longer, the basic elements that define the group come from the Cambrian!

Many, many years ago I was playing SimEarth and had a race of technological cephalopods evolve.  Unfortunately, an asteroid strike hit near their home before they could spread out and the tsunami wiped them out.  It was a sad gaming moment.

He seems to be wiping his brow with his eyes heavenward, as if saying "Whew, that was close!"

I wish I could find jewelery this pretty.
