PZ Myers' Friday Cephalopods

[Opsa]

These guys look like they have flashlights in their eye sockets!

But then, so does Laser Kitteh.

I know it's not Friday, but PZ posted a cool squid video today...

One has to constantly remind oneself that this is real and not made up.

As Swato says.  At one moment you're looking at something like 2001, the next moment you seem to see a weird human-like figure.

I saw that too.  He looked like Mr. Salty didn't he.

[Sibling DavidH]

That's it.  There's also another one, earlier, like a head with spiky hair.

Bart Simpson?

[Sibling DavidH]

Yes, now you mention it. 

[Aphos]

About as close as you can get to real live aliens living on Planet Earth.

It is Friday once again, that most sacred of days.  And you know what that means.

Also, an octopus some Germans claim is a World Cup fan.

[Opsa]

Oh yeah? Where's his vuvuzela, then?

[Aggie]

Somewhere under his mantle, I presume...  not every critter hangs its vuvuzela out for the world to see.

[Aphos]

The other night on MSNBC I saw three horn players from some German orchestra try to play Mozart on vuvuzelas.  Try to imagine how bad it sounded. 


It was even worse than that.

[Swatopluk]

It was Brahms and Ravel.

I thought they did surprisingly well.
