This is art rather than a real octopus, but still impressive.  This was cut from a single piece of paper.

That is amazing.  I thought it was a piece of pretty good lace-work when I first saw it, but your explanation just makes me feel awe at the work involved.

Oh, NOZ!  The cephalopod has escaped and will take over the world.

These are from Jerry Coyne's Why Evolution is True rather than PZ's blog, but still good.  I give you three pictures of the giant cuttlefish...

Unfortunately, it looks like PZ has stopped posting his Friday Cephalopod.  Alas.

If he does make further posts in the future, I'll post here.

I cannot surmise why there is no video embed in this software. There was always a Youtube option, but it is missing.

PZ has gotten into studying spiders and only rarely posts about cephalopods now.  But today there was a new post.  Behold, a baby octopus.
