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.
The amazing thing for reals is that the squid figured this shit out.
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.
except not really.
Wait. About loving me or about that being all? I need more nouns!
about that being all.
OF COURSE I LOVE YOU. OUR LOVE IS SO PURE!
How does the squid even see the bacteria before they start to glow, to gather them up? Did the pocket evolve specifically for that purpose? I just -- there are so many questions.
