It's true! As long as we ignore all the changes they've gone through for millions of years. Common misconception, same with sharks etc.

There was a reason I said relatively. Though squid and octopi have change in significant ways they haven't changed as much as say pretty much any land animal. Mollusks and Jelly fish have changed even less. I think most of the changes are like size variations, the development of chromatophores, bigger brains, bigger eyes, etc. The main point is that if you see one of these things from billions of years ago you'd still be able to identify it for what it was.

Why learn a martial art when you're practically immortal? Karate chop a sponge in half? Two sponges attack you. Drop kick? Four sponges. Oh and the whole time they're just covering you in sperm and eggs. I'm reasonably sure sponges were the main inspiration for The Power Rangers movie.

Squids and octopods are mollusks! And there's a good deal more to it than that, though I suppose I am talking more physiologically than morphologically. Even there though there's been a lot of change. I find the term statis a bit deceiving even though it kind of makes sense when you consider the timescale. If you've seen spectulations on the mollusca ancestral body plan though, I don't think you'd be able to know its a squid and clam relative.

Psh, I can totally whup a sponge. No contest.

Let me just say it now. If this goes beyond that image posted above and there are dead baby jokes posted, some people will enjoy a week away from NPF.

Now that that's out of the way, this has actually been entertaining.

By which I mean you were probably better off not saying anything at all.

I really want to press the red button but I don't trust Blue.

It was a toss up between the picture and finding a clip of Fat Bastard singing about his baby back ribs. I actually found the baby really adorable sitting in the bucket

Krogo, what could a straight arrow like me possibly put in a swap tag? :J


Edit:

Now, if it were, say, a link, like this one...
