It’s nice to know that those of us who are in thrall to our cephalod overlords are not alone in our struggle to conquer the world and make it safe for molluscs. But to show the superiority of cephalopods over chordates, watch this: [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=862SXns6v2k&hl=en] Administrative Evolution Humor

But I have been busy in real life, which is an uncommon occurence (having a real life, I mean), so I have not blogged as well or deeply… Read More
History Somehow, I got minions/The first biological species concept revisited 17 Mar 2011 It’s late in Real Time so I can only do a brief one now… I made the mistake of noting on Twitter that I lacked minions after PZ accused me of hating his. Of course I don’t hate them. It’s just that, as an agnostic I am superior to them… Read More
Hey! Where does this narrator get off calling it a “mere invertebrate”?!?! Especially after it demonstrated its clear superiority to a backboned bully.

“No animals were harmed in the making of this … Oh Bugger!” After watching that, I’ll happily cede 70% of the earth’s surface to the cephalopods.

“im in ur aquarium, pwnzin ur sharks… another shark will die each day until you put me back in with my ceph crew, mofos!” But I think my all-time favorite octopus video is the one where they first caught on in the act of climbing out of its new tank and crawling across the lab floor to get back to its old tank.
