Ah, these are wondrous examples of cephalopodic might! I approve entirely. Especially the squid contemplating devouring his enemies within the glass bubble...
WPM? Witticisms Per Minute? They average...oh wait, excuse me...
Words Per Minute - once upon a time (long, long ago) was 75-80 wpm. Nowadays is likely only 40-50. But I've been told too many times to count that I also have excellent phone receptionist skills. Good morning! Cephalopod Plotters Inc. How may I direct your call?...
Drats! *think* *think* *think* Ah ha! *sneaks out to the little expresso stand two doors down* *sneaks back into office snack room and pours contents of take-out cups into mugs*
Of course I make coffee. *presents mugs to the jellyfish* Next time would you like a triple-shot dark roast latte' instead?
The Giant Cuttlefish Aggregate Near me As I Speak. (http://www.naturalwanders.com/australiangiantcuttlefishaggregation.htm) Just give the command, O Elder One, and I shall summon them to you.
Would you like a photo of a preserved dead squid? There's a big one in the lab where I work. Well, not IN the lab, it's down the hall. We have a bunch of skeletons too.
Anyway, I wanted to ask first because I didn't want to go and give it to you if a dead squid photo would be a sad thing.
