Octosquid Discovered, a Cross Between an Octopus and a Squid

For the love of all that is holy, they are called arms, people! Not tentacles! Octopuses do not have tentacles! >_With that out of the way... Nifty looking creature. My guess is that it's just an interesting looking deep-sea octopus or a squid with very rudimentary tentacles. Or it could ( Read more... )

Looking for a holiday to celebrate this winter? Well look no further...

And I must say, it went very well :)

I only had two classes today (one of which was a lab), but of course have to spend the evening in the library, where I'm anticipating spending many a night.

Both of my professors appears to be interesting, animated (one perhaps a little too animated, might be time for decaf...) people, and even though I'm ( Read more... )
