Who knew that flicking through endless pictures of exploding LSD slugs would be so compelling?
Good work, Gator.

Now I know where that band in Richmond Va (circa 1997) got their name. I always liked it.

Aww, I miss the Nudi of the Week link. Nudis are soooo cool. Been on a couple of scuba diving trips just to take pictures of them.

I love these things. Thanks for the post. It'll be what I point to whenever anyone asks what my favorite animal is. (Which, oddly enough, happens more often than you might think)

Great post. We saw a lot of these on our dive in Palau. Even their eggs look cool.
