This movie of mating octopuses is beautiful…but the narrator speaks in this husky French voice that makes it sound horribly lewd, like a dirty old man. Even better!
Well you know what they say, nature shows god’s love. Or perhaps another way of putting it, his attempted rape.
The IDiots may be odious, but they do seem to be moving away from the idea of a beneficent god, officially.
I suppose one should listen to them at their churches, though, since if they can force science to encompass theology, they can turn around and force theology to accept once more that god is love, no matter the brief lapse necessary to re-theologize society.

But… that’s how I speak all the time!

Nerd – I thought she just threatened you with sharp sticks when you got gruesome.
She doesn’t carry her needles to our water bed (her idea) for obvious reasons… ;)

I’m lovin this Wikipedia bit on “Octopus” :
“It is believed that in thousands of years from now during the process of evolution octopi will adapt to a dryer environment such as our land for instance. Climbing and swinging from trees will be the main form of transporation.”

Re; Wikipedia article on octopi:
Wow. Someone’s been taking Dougal Dixon’s books a little too literally.
Not that arboreal octopi would be a bad thing … start typing the screenplay now …

I was wondering where the idea for tree octopi came from. I was thinking D&D – heck, it’s probably in D&D already.
You know, with their high intelligence, tree octopi could be arboreal mages. Their cunning would also make for excellent (albeit freakish) rogues.
I suppose playing D&D is freakish enough. I fly my freak flag high.
