How Nerdy Are You?

On the advice of counsel I have no comment at this time…

It’s SuperOctopus!

Stolen from Pharyngula.

Tremoctopus is obviously ready to step up and take the place of the now sadly-fallen Captain America. Now for a name…Doc Oc is taken. The Masked Mollusc? Too bad it’s not a Squid: Captain Calamari has a nice ring to it.

Thank you, I’ll be here all week. Have the veal… 

This type of Tremoctopus, or blanket octopus, has a unique way of escaping from predators. When threatened, the octopus unfurls a giant sheet of webbing that trails behind like a cape. The webbing breaks apart rather easily when attacked — much like a lizard’s tail — and it gets wrapped around the predator’s face, giving the octopus a chance to flee.

You should see the migrating blanket Tree Octopodia in the Springtime. In years gone by the sky would be darkened with the herds moving North for the summer, gliding silently over the Cascadian rainforest as the grizzlies and pumas cowered below. A more majestic sight the world has never witnessed but, like the carrier pigeon, a precious jewel only too easily lost.

how is a bagel like a vagina?

I’m serious here. Some misguided Midwestern bagel shop decided that nothing says “fun atmosphere” like baked goods reminiscent of a mummy’s ladyblossom.

Dark Nebula Rising

Dark Nebula Rising

Definitely pic o’ the day quality, this image is a painting by Douglas Herring which I found via the Squidblog. Yes, it may have been painted ten years ago, but obviously it was lying dormant all this time, waiting until the stars aligned in the ancient pattern once again.

Look around you, people: can “Mercury’s in retrograde” explain all of this?
