Willow ,'Beneath You'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
You clearly have not read the Constitution. In it? A militia. Not in it? Science.
FTR, I saw what you did there, with the funny.
I think I ate too much brown rice. Again. Only I didn't realize that was the cause of my discomfort yesterday. Hello, fiber!
This has led to my not packing or doing laundry. But I did pick up a few more gifts before I got home, so that's something. I think it will have to be early rise tomorrow. Which means I should sleep nowish. Don't wanna.
Quorum sensing is too much like telepathy. It creeps me out. How do they KNOW?
I dunno. I know when there are too many people in an IKEA, everyone goes into a fugue state. Maybe it's like that.
The amazing thing for reals is that the squid figured this shit out. Squid are really smart.
Then the squid uses the glowing pouch as a flashlight. It releases the bacteria in the morning, before it gets all toxicy.
That is amazing. Really.

Exactly. How does a squid get there?
The other amazing thing is that billytea's spidey sense did not alert him to this discussion.
I can't figure out why squid haven't yet taken over the world, because they damn well could. Maybe they figure it isn't worth the effort.
One can hardly blame them.
I love Allyson. that is all.
except not really. I shopped in a Wal-Mart today. I feel all icky. Spent over $100 too.
PZ Myers once gave a talk in which he said (paraphrasing) that if we can't manage to communicate with a squid, how can we expect to communicate with some aliens on another planet out there?
The whole talk was about what sort of things survived over the half dozen extinction events the earth had, what sort of shapes seemed conducive to survival. The mighty mollusk is one of those things, I guess.
