Am I missing something or does the Friday squid blog always come on a Thursday? Ah well, I'm a fan of the surreal. Posted by: Mike at June 8, 2006 4:26 PM Q: How many surrealists does it take to change a light bulb? A: Fish. Posted by: Anonymous at June 8, 2006 4:27 PM Bruce, if you're struggling to find material for squid blogging, you could always post calamari recipes... Posted by: Carlo Graziani at June 8, 2006 4:34 PM @Mat Booth: I know that, but don't get the joke none the less... Posted by: Non-native English speaker at June 8, 2006 5:36 PM Instead of Bell Ring - Salivate you have Bell Ring - Ink Squirt. Both are examples of a sound followed by a an animal releasing liquids. What makes it funny is the transposition of a well-know scientific experiment with a similar, but absurd, situation. All-in-all, it's not that funny. However, when you consider Bruce's cephalopod fetish, it becomes highly mirthful. Posted by: Fred X. Quimby at June 8, 2006 5:44 PM I still wonder what Bruce finds that interesting about squids to make a weekly appearance here... Posted by: Woo at June 8, 2006 6:01 PM The joke above is wrong! Q: How many surrealists does it take to change a light bulb? A: Three. One to hold the giraffe, and one to throw brightly-coloured power tools into the bathtub.

You're thinking of Dadaists or Absurdists. Surrealism was a very different movement. Posted by: Art Miner at June 8, 2006 6:34 PM Q: How many surrealists does it take to change a light bulb? A: A lawnmower in a bathtub going over the waterfall. ============= A passionate girl from Madrid Posted by: aikimark at June 8, 2006 7:08 PM That limerick is great - at least as good as the cartoon! Posted by: It's Friday here at June 8, 2006 7:36 PM Looks like this might have been the origin of Rorschach tests. Posted by: Ron Wilhoite at June 8, 2006 9:54 PM That is the cutest little rolly-eyed squid I ever did see. With excellent projectile inking. Posted by: Vanessa at June 8, 2006 10:27 PM @Woo Sshhhhh... They're coded messages to the Squid Conspiracy, which of course does not exist. Posted by: ltp at June 9, 2006 4:28 AM @Woo Maybe to figure out a way of implementing intangible deniable security for his next algorithm. :) who knows... it must top something soon ;) Posted by: Jungsonn at June 9, 2006 5:47 AM Speaking of "calamari", check this out from the NSA for Kids (CryptoKids) website: http://www.nsa.gov/kids/bios/bios00003.cfm "Oh! I almost forgot - I tried sushi (rice and raw fish wrapped in seaweed) and calamari (that’s octopus!) for the first time as well." Ummm....calamari is squid, not octopus ("Tako" is "octopus" in Japanese). Sad. Posted by: 1915bond at June 9, 2006 9:07 AM In "Serenity" there is a cartoon with an Octopus that has a code embedded in it that triggers a preprogrammed person ("River Tam") to go balistic.
