Is it art? I’m not sure. What I am sure of is that it appears to be a creature out of The Dark Crystal with huge, pendulous testes, hanging from gymnastics rings and covered in stick-pins. Yup, thanks John.

Abdopus aculeatus octopi lead a life of sex, murder, and gender obfuscation but only once. After that they die. Thanks to Jenny and everyone else who sent this one in!

Welcome your new cephalopod masters with a t-shirt. Thanks, Vinnchan.

Hikashu, who appears to have been Japan’s answer to the Talking Heads, sings “Puyo Puyo”. Thanks, bubliki!

The trailer for Angels and Idiots, a new film by animation god Bill Plympton. Thanks, Monkey!

Aaron Cole is a photographer friend of mine who is showing his work at Berkeley’s famous Pub for an undisclosed amount of time, starting Sunday, February 17th, at 5pm. I don’t know for sure, but I suspect there will be refreshments. This is par for the course with art shows.

EDIT: This just in. Apparently there will be celery. The Pub also serves a wide variety of beer, tea and coffee, and tobacco.
