Posted by John Brownlee
• An accusatory finger points at the sphincter of a nine-tentacled octopus. A nonopus? Thanks, Karen!
• Cycloptic space squidling hugs onto the side of a Mars rover in the latest Ectomo-endorsed Threadless tee. Thanks, Blackrockbob!
• Brad sends in this news report about a strange virus hitting the most remote island on earth, triumphantly crowing “IT HAS BEGUN!” R’lyeh, anyone?
• Creationism dismissed as a ‘kind of paganism’ by Vatican’s astronomer. This story seems to be surprising a lot of people, but Catholicism has been edging away from a literal interpretation of Genesis for centuries now. This guy’s making some good points. ectotweeted by Wolven.
• Also from Wolven, some sort of bacon flowchart.
• Nicholas Cage goes absolutely zonkers when confronted with the prospect of authographing the six breasts of three twins. Hey, who wouldn’t? Ectotweeted by oldhat.
• The best thing to come out of yesterday’s inaugural ectochat: “Marmaduke, are you even listening to me you zany dog?”

Nice. Testing this out, or is it already decided to be a permanent thing?

This is permanent. We simply let too many tips disappear without using them or acknowledging them, which encourages people to tip us less. From now on, all tips that don’t get used in a given day will be posted the next (unless we only get like one)

John, that’s brilliant.
There’s a reason we love you guys: You make us feel like a valued blade in the torture machine.
… “Part of the process.” That’s what I meant to say.
