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.
On 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.
