Aahhh..........obscure pub quiz moment.

Technically speaking, Architeuthis does not have the largest eye in the animal kingdom, though it has the largest eye of any currently living animal that we know of (except Mesonychoteuthis?).

In fact, the Jurassic ichthyosaurs Ophthalmosasaurus and Temnodontosaurus platyodon both had eyes that were larger. Temnodontosaurus had plates behind the eye that showed it had an eyeball of over 26cm.

There you go! Fact-o-rama.

Arrrrrrrrgh..... not supposed to learn on weekends....

Anybody got more odd cephs?

 

[NickA5582]

Guess not, here's an extremely easy one.

Here's a pic, no clues this time, making it all the more easy.

This should take about three minutes.

 

[DocidicusGigas]

Taningia Largea?

Whatever... Holy crap, that's one ugly dead squid.

 

[um...]

You should clarify that the squid, while perhaps ugly in death, is in fact most resplendent in life. Certain members must not be offended, unless you wish to incur the wrath of a world-class wit...

 

[chrono_war01]

Great~

I say that it's a possible dinner to me...

 

[erich orser]

The ceph many doctors argue should not be allowed to see patients as it never really attended medical school...

What am I thinking of?

 

[fluffysquid]

Zoidberg!

Zoidberg: "Well, if it isn't the hypochondriac... what's wrong with you today?"
Fry: "Well, my lead pipe hurts a little."
Zoidberg: "That's normal, next patient!"
