...must obey octopussycat!!!

Pieces, I love your ornament idea! If you do it, please post instructions or final photo in the crafts thread for us. And in this thread, naturally!

Ok, so this one's a sponge, but it's being dubbed 'Cookie Monster of the Sea'.  :mrgreen:
WWDDD?

Tremoctopus is a genus of pelagic cephalopods, containing four species that occupy surface to mid-waters in subtropical and tropical oceans. They are commonly known as blanket octopuses, in reference to the long transparent webs that connect the dorsal and dorsolateral arms of the adult females. The other arms are much shorter and lack webbing.

...and now Fatima will perform the dance of the seven veils!

To me that one looks totally artificial.
Knurrhähne sind eßbar aber empfehlen würde ich das nicht unbedingt.
The aspitriglos is edible though I do not actually recommend it.

Opsa

Wouldn't it make a fantastic Halloween costume, though?

Swatopluk

This actually looks like a Bedouin who modified his headdress in a creative way. Make that a female Bedoiun given the slight protrusions at chest height :mrgreen:

Ha! I hadn't noticed those. It's like she has her hands on her rear hips.

"Anyone else wanna say I look like mouldy butter? Huh? HUH?"

Aphos

Sorry, no Friday Cephalopod yet.  PZ is having technical difficulties.  He is keeping a rescue kitten (despite PZ's avowed aversion to cats) until a good owner can be found, and said kitten destroyed his router.

But fear not, things should be back to normal next week.  PZ is headed off to the Big City this weekend and plans to round up a new router while there.

Ah.  PZ got the post up after all.
