Big, predatory fishes such as tuna and swordfish used to decorate the kitchen whisk. Today, scrambling eggs is only possible with those creatures lower on the marine food web, such as cephalopods. This mysterious creature from the deep (aka squid whisk) is a belated birthday present from my sister and my latest addition to ocean paraphernalia (PZ, famous for his cephalopod fetish is indubitably envious). Given their rank in the marine food web, there are enough squid whisks for everyone.
The squid whisk makes the blog! But it seems like a bit of an anthropomorphic stretch to turn a whisk into a shifting baseline...
A blog I read on a completely different subject also has a curious interest in squid.
