Sightings: squirters and grabbers and collectors
My friend Chris and his brother Martin sent me these photos from their recent visit to the Boston Museum of Science.
Here Martin poses in front of a case displaying a plethora of model cephalopods (part of the Making Models exhibit). Squirters and Grabbers indeed.
And here he stands before an exhibit on collecting…and look, there’s someone’s octopus collection! I have that plush Blue Ringed Octopus in my own collection (although I haven’t got around to posting it yet), and, in all likelyhood, I have a few of the other ones as well. I’d say they should have featured my collection instead, but they’d probably have needed to dedicate an entire wing of the museum to it. Now there’s an idea…the ISK Hall of Cephalopods!

Nice! Martin shows off the ceph’s like a boss.
I hope you warned Martin that I would probably put these on my blog!

No! Not at all! OK…maybe a little…
Oh! I have that red spotted plush octopus. I highly recommend it. It is one of the most anatomically correct stuffed octopuses I’ve seen. You can’t see it in the display, but it has a little beak and a siphon. Plus, it’s very cuddly.
Nice! Did you see Sunday’s Woot Shirt, BTW?
I was actually in the process of trying to track down the link! I saw the image on Phryngula this morning and was digging around for more info. Thanks for the link, it’s going to be today’s T-shirt Tuesday post!
