    The poor widdle sad cephalopod is actually thinking, “Yes, yes, I look sad. Comfort me. Give me a hug. That’s right. Closer…. Closer…. Just a little closer, please….”

    Yoink!

    While I appreciate and share your luuuurve of science, I worry about your blind spot in the area of cephalopods. You rail against anti-intellectual and anti-science groups while warmly embracing the single biggest threat to mankind (excluding mankind itself).

    In this nation of laws, is is your right to do this; to say these things and to feel this way. But it pains me to see it.

    When the betentacled armies rise from the sea, armed with terrible weapons and seeking dominion over the land, I worry that I alone, fat with calamari, will be prepared to oppose them.

    Mr. Habits,

    You seem to have missed the possibility that the good Dr. Myers is in fact a fifth columnist for the betentacled masses.

    Why PZ, I do believe you’re jealous of a little cuttlefish. I’m sure if they posted your picture on CO – probably in the Pocket Pets section – everyone woud wuv you, too.

    Long I have pondered the alluring images of cute overload, and the alien geometry of their website. Always I have known the glowing eyes of their kittens and ducks concealed an alliance with foul and secret powers which man must not comprehend. Now they show their hand for the world to see …

    It’s impressive how humans are capable of interpretating the eyes of a cephalopod. Saddness? Cephalopoda tend to communicate more through skin colour changes than through postural language. Humans, obviously, tend to comunicate more through the latter way than the earlier.

    That’s a crying shame to see a perfectly good cuttlefish go down like that. Freakin’ thing sold out faster than U2.

    The comments aren’t all saccharine: salted amongst ’em are frequent musings regarding the edibility of the little critter – and some unfortunate references to it being a fish, or ‘fishy thing’.

    I was misreading the header as “Cute Overlord”.

    Why, can’t Overlords be cute? Wasn’t it tribbles that brought klingons to their knees?

    OTOH you can’t have too many tribbles if a cuttle will cheer you up.

    Hey! Don’t be hatin’ on the C.O.!

    Seriously, dude. When it’s three in the afternoon and the thought of another three hours at my desk makes me want to cut my throat with a machete, sometimes the romping kittens are all that preserve my will to live.

    The comments are pretty unreadable, though.

    Cute Overload is good for one thing: making students who think they’re thick and can never do well realise exactly what the real bottom of the barrel looks like.
