Cleo. Cleo. Cleo. Sparklepires exist AND THEY ARE A SQUID.

The name of the squid is actually "The Vampire Squid from Hell", and its defense mechanism is not ink, but bioluminescent fluid with which it DAZZLES its attackers. One of the guys at that link actually says "Their defense is to dazzle."

Does it also have elbows?

[eruvadhril]

What with its being a squid, I'm gonna say no. Sadly, they never mention if their presence causes other fish to suddenly fursplode into Werewolf Squid, either.

[cleolinda]

Google "squid with elbows." But don't say I didn't warn you.

[chibimitch]

woah. Dude. That is freakin weird. I've been to MBARI, and seen the ROV's - they've got/found some freaky shit there, but squid with elbows? Freakiest shit they've found yet. Why did I click that? I knew it'd freak me out. You even warned us.

Also, vampire squid that dazzles? priceless.

And "Sam's thyroid meds, because SAM IS A DOG" makes me giggle. Thanks. I'm having a shitty night, and I feel better now. Picturing that smiling furball helps, too. So I guess I should thank Sam, as well. THANKS SAM! THANKS CLEO! Hope all the meds crap is better now (or will be soon). Sorry that happened in the first place. You can blame it all on Twilight messing with your head (this was just before the New Moon release, right?).

I remember reading a story a while ago about a guy who mixed up his medication with the dog's medication and no one noticed because it turned out it was the same pills (dosage, ingredients, everything,) in different bottles and with some kind of markup for the "people" bottle and the guy and his dog both had arthritis or whatever and the treatment was the same.

...though I'm not saying Sam's pills would be a viable substitute for prescribed meds. Well, maybe if it was for a thyroid problem.

Well, it makes sense. There isn't dog medicine and human medicine. There's just medicine. And if there was a difference in price then the pharmacy was cheating the guy - the price of the dog medicine should just be the price of the pills without prescription insurance.

I know that we buy people's insulin for our cat's diabetes, so there's that?

Can you imagine if the panel were familiar with Twilight? The whole next ten minutes would have been taken up with things like "THIS IS THE BIOLUMINESCENCE OF A KILLER, BELLA!" and then they would play Horrify the Twilight Noob with Stephen and break his brain.

"THIS IS THE BIOLUMINESCENCE OF A KILLER, BELLA!"

WIN.
