High Art Tentacles

Yet another beautiful piece - this one by Sven Atema. I can't reproduce the images here, but click through to his website: http://www.svenatema.com/

Select sculpture, and feast your eyes on the first two images. They're two different views of a gorgeous bronze tentacle sculpture.

Meaty Tentacles

The headline for this one is "Redneck Sushi." The best part about it is that it's made by a brilliant artist for himself - not for a child. I will admit that I could never cut hot dogs so delicately.

Poke-Twitter-Tentacles

I never followed Pokemon, but apparently many of the creatures are now on Twitter, including this guy - Tentacruel.


Tweet your tentacles away!

The city of Hakodate, Japan has been producing official tourism videos unlike any you’ve ever seen before — action-packed affairs starring famous landmarks as giant robots that battle a runaway mechanical squid hijacked by vengeful aliens.

The first video begins with an interesting factoid: According to a survey of 100 aliens, Hakodate is the number one city they would most like to invade.

Pretend Video Game Tentacles

I can't say I really understand this one, but the wacky video game octopuses/octopi/octopodes are *amazing. Yes, you must watch all 12 minutes. There's some good octopus action around the 3 minute mark, and plenty more where that came from.
