the perversion of the giant squid
Apparently, male giant squid have these totally ginormous penises. "They're nearly as long as their arms, and they possess the intensity "of a fire hose," as the scientists write. The squid evolved these massive members because female giant squid are about 1/3 bigger than the males, and they don't much like being inseminated, so they tend to fight back. The sizeable length allows the male to have sex from a safe distance and get the hell outta Dodge before being eaten alive." All this from collision detection, clive thompson's blog, which I'm always refrencing. Because it rules. As for the foto source, you'll have to read trixie's blog.
When Trixie was in town there was discussion of doing a Sunday Brunch upstate writer's club meeting. Making me hungry, just thinking about it. Oh yeah, the new bookstore in New Haven, labyrinth totally rules. The basement has low-low price art books, photo books, all kinds of goodies. And now that all of nhwc is gainfully employed, well, let's become regulars.

Speaking of THE SHINING, which we weren't (but speaking of Labyrinths, and there is one in that movie) the special "Making the Shining" on the DVD rocks. They have an interview with Danny where he is like, "I just kept thinking about how much money I was going to get, and like, what my parents were going to buy me with it."
there is a penis museum in iceland but it was closed while i was there, which is just as well because i would have ended up going with my dad (who was really excited about it). how awkward would that have been? right up there with an unwelcome prodding from a giant squid's seeking loins. oy!
