Via Jeff VanderMeer I discover that yesterday was International Cephalopod Awareness Day and I missed it. Waaaaaa!!!!!

Still, I can make up for it now. Jeff made two posts (here and here). You should also check out the giant octopus page at the very wonderful Monterey Bay Aquarium. And finally, something I discovered during my visit to Copenhagen for the Eurocon. Go here and check out the coat of arms. Does that not remind you of a Great Freshwater Squid rising from the waves? Clear evidence of squid worship amongst the ancient vikings, if you ask me.
