Three-Ring Donkey Show (with special guest star, Giant Squid)
On giant squid, from Slate:
Is there any doubt that the scariest animal in the world is the giant squid? Just its name paralyzes my heart with fear in a way that "killer whale" or "jumbo shrimp" do not. Most of us first caught a glimpse of this denizen of the deep trying to kill Kirk Douglas in 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, and we all had the same question: How angry do you have to be to try to kill the recipient of an honorary Academy Award for lifetime achievement? The answer was instantly branded onto all of our brains: as angry as a giant squid.
. . .
I was going to say this blog is deader today than Amish's sex life, but then I remembered—it's now more dead than Amish's sex life. What the hell does this mean?!
