    Curious. The first mosaic tile I clicked on was some of that cephalod porn we’ve discussed her before. What are the odds of that?

    Very cool!
    Unfortunately, I guess the program just assumes that all the pictures it finds contain cephalopods (is it getting pix from Google Images?). Somewhere on your right cheek there’s a drawing of shoes and a handbag.

    And you have linoleum on your forehead.

    Thought you oughta know.

    Awesome mosaic PZ!

    I think a mosaic of abstract ideas would be quite appropriate for Wilkins. What a challenge!

    HA! One of the pictures in the mosaic is of the Octopus Project at Emo’s in Austin. Yet more proof of my theory that everything awesome happens in Austin.

    Wow, those common forms of evolution are pretty pervasive. Here’s a squid from the picture that looks like a pair of tetrapods:

    I guess it is more correct to say that the mosaic is created with photos that are “tagged” octopus or squid. But what can you do?

    I have bucketloads of anecdotal evidence to support that claim.

    Dr. Myers, I’ve never mentioned before how much you appear to resemble a former graduate committee member. Now I picture him with powerful tentacles shooting from his forehead, and all those repressed memories of committee meetings past morph into Cthulhu-esqe horror.

    *shudder*

    “The most parsimonious explanation for your data is that you are incompetent”

    Imagine that statement (true quote, to the best of my recollection) accompanied by rapid extension of pink tentacles.

    On PZ’s left cheek is an image of stir-fried squid from Thurlow and Robson in Vancouver, so I assume the program has just pulled images off the net.
