Wow. Krill smell like boiled cabbage? Eating boiled cabbage every meal for the rest of my life....

I don't wanna be a whale.



"The penis of the squid, which had extended only slightly over the mantle margin, suddenly started to erect, and elongated quickly to 67cm total length, almost the same length as the whole animal."
And now I'm inadequate as a male as well.



Coupled with postselection is the theory of quantum teleportation etc. etc. etc.
And now I can't understand what's supposedly my native language.



Edited to add: I am glad Bruce Schneier's Friday blog posts are seeing use, though.:)

We're going to discuss an animal that is near and dear to my heart: squids.
Squid are also my favorite sea animal! They are ridiculously cool. (Hyenas win overall as the coolest animals ever)

Pffff, damn Gnoll. :p


Well, that time travel news is great, now means if we put it to use we can document every mystery of life ever. Of course, it must be taken with a pinch of salt, as that theory seems to suggest it would be an AU.

Why don't you go and read about barnacles, I'm sure that will make any feeling of inadequacies to the squid fade away.

Silly monkies, how did they plan on landing without getting hurt? I suppose their escape vehicle was a bear driving a car.

Time travel has always interested me, you could go back and kill yourself father and still remain alive. You would just be creating an alternate timeline where you never exisited that would exist in a parallel space-time next to ours. Or as Lauren may say;

This stuff is always great to hear about, but why are so many of them based around animal sex and sex organs?

Every issue wherein animal sex has been involved it's always the first thing in the title.

So squids have giant Johnsons? Can we start using the phrase "hung like a squid" now?

Im pretty certain its used to get people's attention and im pretty certain it does.

The title "Whales actually have a sense of smell" doesn't exactly grab people's attention as much as just the word sex.

OP: interesting information, im just curious when bad references will get made.

Very interesting, and I like how the column titles have been getting weirder and weird. "Giant Squid Sex and Whale Nostrils" sounds like a noir surrealist novel.

Monkeys are so clever. Sooner or later they're going to destroy the Statue of Liberty in front of Chuck Norris.

I want to write a coming of age sitcom about that squid's story. It's going to be write to name it something that doesn't use the word 'boner'.

Grandfather paradoxes are awesome. Ontological paradoxes are so cool, I just copied the entire text of this post from a note I wrote in the future, copying the post I had made, and sent back in time.

Okay, so when I read the title I didn't originally see the "and"

Very different.
Please come to Brandname Hall this next Friday to see my new heavy folk death cabaret metal band, Giant Squid Sex Whale Nostrils. It's going to be a blast!

The physics part hurt my head. I'll wait until I have physics class before I try and understand that.

Come now, there's always a chance... for example, if we happened to have a flooding-based apocalypse and everything goes all Water World, I can see "hung like a squid" being far more popular.

Nice article, by the way!

I'm sure the Japanese translation is already a well known phrase.
