a student (http://gilly.stanford.edu/dannashulman.htm) in Dr. Gilly's lab (http://gilly.stanford.edu/) at Stanford has collected a list of ceph-related attire on a web page (http://www.stanford.edu/~joyshul/geekgear.html) devoted to the topic. Her main page (http://www.stanford.edu/~joyshul/home.html) may also be of interest. Amazing who you can find if you google for stuff like "cephalopodiatrist."

didnt krin do something similar?

I got one of these for Christmas! :heee: Actually, my cat did - I have a photo somewhere of my him modeling it, clearly unimpressed. Will post soon!

I don't know if this counts as a squid sighting, but last night I went to a play called "Muckle Man" by Roberto Aquirre-Sacasa. It was about a marine biologist in Newfoundland trying to capture a giant squid (how could I not go to this play???). Anyway, they had a little slide show (in the play the marine biologist was giving a lecture to potential donors) that had a picture of the live Architeuthis. They included lots of facts about the giant squid, some accurate, others not (eyes as large as New York City manhole covers...). The marine biologist in the play eventually finds a juvenile Architeuthis and it refuses to eat so he has to call two teuthologists in New Zealand "Breedlove and Roper."

Pretty good play, surprising ending. Oh, and the actor playing the marine biologist kind of looked like our Dr. SOS :shock: . Oh, and the juvenile squid dies...:cry:

ps: How about a full write-up for Culture & Entertainment, Cuttlegirl?

I had to see if it was playing in Atlanta (not yet) and found a great site that was used to promote the play. The last box on the first row is a "diary written by the main character (aka playwright)". If the blog doesn't look familiar, you have not read Steve O'Shea's bio!

Each block on the site references some internet site relating to undersea monsters.

http://www.themuckleman.com/?cell=a7

Amending this to say that only the TONE of the blog reminds me of Steve's Bio not the entire script!

I was just at a store in the dollar section and I saw a little toy kitchen set with plastic pans, pots, utensils and plates. It came with some food on the plates, a little lobster and a CUTTLEFISH!!! :shock: My four-year-old wanted to buy it so she could "rescue" the lobster and cuttlefish and let her dolls have them for pets. She eventually picked another toy (sea life set with shark, orca and octopus). The set was made in China.

We didn't get it, but maybe I should go back and get it for a Tonmocon door prize...

I have yet to buy anything with a Cuttle on it. If they have more than one, I'd be interested in knowing how much it was. :smile:

Bit of a gamer here....have been since Pong. My latest adventure is on Playstation 2 and is called God of War 2. It's about a Spartan soldier trying to take down the Gods of Olympus (Primarily Zeus). Has a lot of Greek mythology and some other mythological creatures and one that I had to take down was the mighty Kraken. Fun battle fighting this giant creature! I took a few pics of my TV.

"Hakodate in Hokkaido is apparently famous for its cuttlefish, so what better way to celebrate the Hakodate harbour festival than with a cuttlefish robot! Standing at a height of 2.2m, the robot uses air pressure to move its joints to do a little dance. What’s more is that the dance can be choreographed by using a cell phone. The robot was developed by the Future University in Hakodate, and cost them 4,850,000 yen (�21,612/$41,169) to produce. Yup, 4,850,000 yen for a dancing robot squid. The festival takes place in August."

Is it just me or does that more closely resemble the physiology and locomotion of a Cuttlefish than a squid?

Fashion brand Diesel will webcast a runway show live from Florence tomorrow night, featuring "a futuristic world of bioluminescence, giant mechanic cephalopods, futuristic aquanauts, and mysterious galactic polips."

Curious creature caught off Keahole Point
The animal, dubbed an "octosquid," is found off the Big Isle

It's a squid, it's an octopus, it's ... a mystery from the deep.

What appears to be a half-squid, half-octopus specimen found off Keahole Point on the Big Island remains unidentified today and could possibly be a new species, said local biologists.
