Corallina officinalis

Once again, you're sneaking other beautiful creatures into the photo. Concentrate, people! CxXx

Splendid! CxXx

It was an excellent film, with one flaw. As a molecular biologist, he would instinctively have balanced the vials in the centrifuge, but he put them side-by-side. Inconceivable!). CxXx

Sadly, that anemone's blocking the beautiful Corallina officinalis! CxXx

I'm a fan of The Martian (also an Andy Weir novel) so have high hopes for this too! CxXx

Hail Mary? Recommended it? CxXx

The Cybermen are just phoning it in nowadays.

If you fancy listening to coverage of #TheAshes that’s a tad more off the wall then I’m joining the wonderful @Guerilla cricket tonight freezing my arse off in pyjamas & matchsticks holding open my eyes. As ever the team have been covering the whole series through every night 👏👏

Negroni for me, please. CxXx

Saving Broadclyst for one of the last windows, I hope? CxXx

Autumn is here.

Bugger, I thought I'd read 6.30 for the first one. I have a cold. CxXx

On your second one yet? CxXx

We already have a legal obligation to hire only those who are eligible to work. Identity numbers will not replace anything, adding a further burden to honest business. Black markets will not be hindered. Huge additional amounts of taxpayers' money will flow to profits of unaccountable IT. CxXx

Did you clear them out for a 1500m work extravaganza with wine and cheese? CxXx

The “problem” with vaccines? They so effective at preventing deaths that they create generations of people that question whether disease was a problem in the first place because they have never experienced the horrors of a world without vaccines.

All the dull parts of Westworld and Blade Runner rolled into a slow xenomorph-light Alien franchise. Give us the clostrophobia of Alien or the shoot-em up fun of Aliens. CxXx

Me too. It's proving very formulaic. CxXx

All part of the Vegan Selection! CxXx

Well this is Awesome 👌 👏 Outrageous that it's necessary, but good on these guys.

Travelling with a minder now, I see! CxXx

I don't hold with librarians and their Extraordinary Time! CxXx

Image Edgar Allen Poe sits with his head in his hands, his sad face lit by the glow of a laptop. On his desk are piles of books, a guttering candle and a bust. Atop the bust sits a raven who is animatedly talking to Poe. Caption The Raven, having seen the general state of the world, realised that quothing "Nevermore." was only going to add to the gloom, and instead tried to cheer things up with a few bawdy limericks and an amusing anecdote about two badgers and a turnip.

A cartoon for @theguardian.com books.

A splendid selection! I have a fondness for Mount Gay because...... it was the first rum distillery I ever visited, when in Barbados for a spot of cricket. CxXx

Meme. Photograph of the sculpture "Eel Walker" by Mark Newma, showing naked woman walking an large eel on a leash. The eel -- a massive moray-looking thing -- is floating along off the ground, so we can assume that they are walking through a stream, or on the bottom of the ocean, or through space. OR that it's a magical eel, and it just flies. The eel is fierce and terrible, and probably is expensive to feed. The woman is done in a golden bronze color. Her hair is floating backwards, suggesting that there is a breeze or an ocean current catching it. I've cleverly (or obnoxiously) written the meme text over her breasts. Sorry, folks; she saving those for the eel. She is muscled and powerful, and the way her left foot is places in front of makes her seem more like a dancer than a walker. She looks like the goddess of eels, taking one of her minions out to gnaw into the dreams of unbelievers and scientists. Meme text reads: "Let's talk eel sex, baby"

It's Valentine's Day, so let's talk about sex.

Eel sex!

Well...we can't, really.

We don't know exactly where, or how, eels get busy. It's a 2000+ year old puzzle. It's not like we haven't tried. But the sex life of eels is a mystery smothered in secret sauce. 1/5
