Flamboyant Cuttlefish, Pfeffer’s Flamboyant Cuttlefish. Metasepia pfefferi
No, this magnificent specimen of nature is not from San Francisco. It’s actually called the Flamboyant Cuttlefish due its amazing colors.
I was watching a documentary on squids and cuttlefishes once, when this animal appeared on the screen. It had absolutely crazy colors. It did not travel by jet propulsion like other cuttlefishes, it…walked. It walked on the sea floor. This cuttlefish is tiny, only about 3 inches long. But the camera had an extreme closeup, and when I saw this lumbering beast walk about, I could not help but think of one song, that perfectly encompasses this creature. The song: Mars, Bringer of War.
It was love at first sight. This animal was not only beautiful, it was extremely intelligent, quickly getting bored with fake prey put there by the divers. But one thing I did not get, why did it walk? It was a very slow method of getting around, it left it vulnerable to predators, and when threatened, instead of using camouflage, the Flamboyant Cuttlefish puts a dizzying display of colors and patterns, almost as if saying, go ahead, make my day.
There was only one explanation, the mofo had to be toxic. Scientists did research and they found that yes, it was indeed toxic, the only cuttlefish to be toxic. But this being the Flamboyant Cuttlefish, the story doesn’t stop there. For what could be cooler than an intelligent, walking cuttlefish that is also toxic? I’ll tell you what…It has an unknown toxin in its skin, did you get that? UNKNOWN! They’re as toxic as the legendary Blue Ringed Octopus, except if one if these killed you, no one would be able to identify the toxin. Awesome.
The Flamboyant Cuttlefish feeds mainly on shrimp and other crustaceans. I know that doesn’t sound as cool. But imagine being a shrimp, picture being a small little shrimp walking around looking for detritus when out of nowhere a walking beast of amazing colors steps in your field of view. You see it’s eyes and you know that he knows, he knows he’s going to murder you, and he knows there’s nothing you can do about it. You see its eyes and you see……Intelligence. Cold, calculating intelligence. You make your peace with the world and pray that this will be a quick death as the Flamboyant Cuttlefish strikes in a fraction of a second, your world darkening around you.
But mere words cannot do justice to this animal, you have to see in action to appreciate how awesome it is:
The cuttlefish feeding.
Showing off its amazing camouflage skillz
More footage of the patterns on its skin.
I have lost what little faith I had in humanity.
Forget the stupid Bald Eagle, this should be the seal of the United States.

At the half, Spurs 57, NO 39
Everyone that has played for the Spurs has scored
Five of the Hornets have scored, Paul with15, almost half of their points, when he sits, the basket has a lid on it. West has 7, and that is with Bonner on him.
We had better not come out slow in the 3rd!
Almost feel sorry for the Hornets…Almost!
Holy crap. The Hornets’ bench was outscored 30 to ZIP in the first half?

So, it’s Rage and it also sounds tough and cool. Hopefully he’s both of them.

JVG is right—Hill’s shot does look totally different, much smoother. Last year it had a weird hitch at the top. Lots of work with ATS’s best friend Chip, methinks.

Holy smokes, Bogans is proportioned a lot like Jacque Vaughn. I saw him out there and my heart skipped a beat—noooooooooooooooo! I thought to myself. Ahh, sweet relief—it’s like having a dream that you failed a class, then waking up to realize it was all just a dream.

Yey Spurs. We win. Blair, Jefferson, McDyess, Manu all look awesome. TD still can’t jump over a deck of cards. Lakers fans adopt a nonchalant “wait and see” attitude, but inside their plastic souls, they fear the revamped Spurs.

Only Spurs with negative +/- are Fin, K-Bo and Youngevity. Get a clue, Pop.
Only Hornets with positive +/- are D Brown and D Collison (whoever they are). Get a clue, Byron. Make them starters.
