"In an age of spin, al-Sahaf offers feeling and authenticity. His message is consistent -- unshakeable, in fact, no matter the evidence -- but he commands daily attention by his on-the-spot, invective-rich variations on the theme. His lunatic counterfactual art is more appealing than the banal awfulness of the Reliable Sources. He is a Method actor in a production that will close in a couple of days. He stands superior to truth."
Nothing to do with cephs but had to share the link :)

amusingly, i used the exact same pic of steve, but used a different pic of the info minister.....
Go on, post it anyway! Great minds think alike, they say.....

No, similar minds think alike.... :lol: i had deleted my original, so i went back and sort of redid it....also did a bonus picture which i think is funnier than the replacement for the original....

you know what would eb scary? if the entire war was misreported and iraq really was invaind the surrounding countries and launching scuds everywhere....
i mean we really dont have any proof do we?
:bonk:
LOLOL at the pics (really wish i had thought of that)
I really do agree that the potential for comedy is huge!
In fact, one of my work mates has now been dubbed 'the information minister' due to tendency to stray somewhat from the facts. I have never met another person that can see the same thing I did and take such a different view of it... and everytime the story is re-told how cartain things wander and meander from what actually happened!

Hello!
Back again, after a long break...
Here's my version, using a different image.
"As you can see, Saddam keeps nothing but harmless litle fishies in his private aquarium."
Apologizing in advance,
Clem (infidel)
That was hilarious! Together with Amniotes and Whitekiboko's pictures we may have enough now to start a new 'Iraqi Minister of Cephalopod Information' forum. :thumbsup:
Right on. At the very least, the title "Minister of Cephalopod Information" should be incorporated in the TONMO ranking system.

quite amusing.... i probably wouldve ended up giving kat a moustache too... what about the minister recounting the demise of the Nautilus, and Ned Land commiting suicide on his harpoon out of fear of the Giant Squid? 20k leagues under the sea anyone? :)

a new challenge...where has he been hiding?
"Could that nondescript, paunchy guy sitting next to you on the bus be Saddam Hussein?
It's medically possible, say plastic surgeons.
The former Iraqi leader, not seen publicly since at least April 9, could conceivably be nearly healed from soft-tissue plastic surgery and have the look of a dapper businessman, a mustache-free version of his younger self, or an uglier man than he ever was.
Given a bit more healing time, he could have his facial structure transformed so dramatically that even members of his inner circle and high-tech facial recognition programs would have trouble recognizing him."

"Could that nondescript, paunchy guy sitting next to you on the bus be Saddam Hussein?
are you trying to say that steve really isnt steve but is really a deposed dictator? actually it wouldnt be a bad disguise....what % of the pop do you think actually knows what a teuthologist is?
No, no, a thousand times no. I swore to Steve that his image would suffer no more digital modifications at my hands. Saddam has nothing to do with Steve. Stop trying to get me in trouble.

Okay okay... You have managed to find me out... I am actually Tariq Aziz, and not only am I FROM Iraq, I listen to classic rock. I have a pet Octarok (for all you Legend of Zelda fans), and my favorite sci-fi character is Mr. Spock.
Wow, so Steve is Saddam Hussein? I sense a vast conspiracy including the CIA, FBI, Cthulu, the Spice Girls, and The Roswell Aliens. :goofysca: Just because I'm paranoid, doesn't mean that you all aren't out to get me too...

Here's a thought,
Why don't you create a set of Ceph Top Trumps that you could print out and play. The values you put on the cards would have to be playable; i.e no point giving Messie 10 for everything as it would always win.
Categories could be, for example: size, depth, aggressiveness, coolness, disgust on face of grandmother quotient.....etc.....etc....
There are easily 30 or 40 distinctive cephs you could pick out there!
