The holidays seem to be coming earlier every year, and today is International Cephalopod Awareness Day! Indeed, it's always a good thing to be aware of cephalopods (it's 12 PM, do you know where Architeuthis is?), especially since the consequences of not being so can be rather painful, or at least very inky. Even if you can't celebrate the day via your own blog, why not pick up some cephalopod-based literature?

Hmm... that might just be a problem with this blog being "recognized" as part of SB (I don't think I show up on the sidebar yet). It should be fixed soon, but if you still have problems in a day or two let me know and I'll try to figure out what the problem is.
