What has Three Hearts and Green Blood?

I’m sure Dana Scully would know.  She’s so cute when she starts describing esoteric phenomena with that dead-pan look.  I wonder if she’d get this one though.

Cuttlefish Close-upOn Sunday, Grace and I were lucky enough to come eye-to-eye with a Giant Australian Cuttlefish at Linley Point while Scuba diving.  Even better, I snapped a very detailed photo of these creepy (but somehow majestic and intelligent-looking) creatures.

Click on the photo to get a big version.  It’s worth it.  Grace and I just hovered underwater staring at this fellow for a good 5 to 10 minutes!  I’m not sure what he thought of us.  We were hoping to see him swim away but he just sat silently staring back at us.  A glimmer of sunlight passed by and was saw the most magical transformation in colour.

This was one of our great and amazing scuba diving moments.

    To quote Robert A. Heinlein:
    A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an
    invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a
    sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the
    dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve
    equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a
    computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly.
    Specialization is for insects.
