and me still single. Imagine!

Woohoo, if I were in Second Life, I’d be rich. I’ve gotten virtual hugs (*raises eyebrow*), virtual booze, and virtual cephalopods galore.
As faithful readers of the ol’ raincoaster blog know, we’re all about the cephalopods. Sometimes, however, we are torn: are we more octapussian or more squidilicious? Oh, how to decide, how to decide…
But now, thanks to some intrepid and possibly-mad scientists off Hawaii (their big project is vacuuming up random animals from the deeps) and the hard legwork of Frontier Former Editor, I can have the best of both worlds! Presenting the Squidoctopus/Octosquid! Ain’t she a beauty?
It’s a squid, it’s an octopus, it’s … a mystery from the deep.
What appears to be a half-squid, half-octopus specimen found off Keahole Point on the Big Island remains unidentified today and could possibly be a new species, said local biologists.
The specimen was found caught in a filter in one of Natural Energy Laboratory of Hawaii Authority’s deep-sea water pipelines last week. The pipeline, which runs 3,000 feet deep, sucks up cold, deep-sea water for the tenants of the natural energy lab…“It’s a beautiful squid. It’s a gorgeous ruby red color,” Kelley said. “We really enjoy these little mysteries that come up.”
Some days the world makes even less sense than usual and you are left with three choices: fight it, float with it, or forward the agenda of mindless insanity that bubbles forth from the accursed, lipless mouth of the blind idiot god Azathoth at the heart of all things.
Guess which we picked!
Ladies and gentlemen: Tommy Seebach and his Danish disco dancers!
