This incredibly awesome Octopus Cake was made by Karen Portaleo at the Highland Bakery in Atlanta, Georgia. It weighed in at an impressive 200 beautiful, be-tentacled pounds. And we sorely wish we could have sampled a slice.

To be clear, those are actual spider webs that he enameled for preservation. Bad ass.
A blasphemous idea consumes every waking minute of existence.
When I see light I hit intense resistance.
Like the star of a shitty HBO show:
it’s only a matter of time before I get let go.
I’m running the fuse to its’ end,
writing texts that I constantly resend.
SSDD,
same shit different day,
a trip to the moon is my only escape.
Those moments shuffle through my head,
giving me the untreatable physical pains that I dread.
My actions are taken over by lies that I’m fed and I’m still hidden by scars glowing red,
like stars nearing death.
I’m filled with regret.
Memories are the only serenity I’ve kept.
Nights spent in nastalgia
following days in a haze.
Sleeping outside just to ask the darkness for change.
I can’t see beauty through my filtered gaze.
Ancient and decayed,
moldy and afraid.
A debt needs to be paid.
My very substance hardens like clay.
Who the hell am I trying to fool?
I’m a fool
I feel so fake.
My mind melts into a lake of hate
and in the darkness your face changes shape.
My back breaks under the weight of what it is that I have to say,
but I can’t let it go because it’s locked away.
Despite the Dark, Giant Squid Eyes See All
The enormous eyes of giant and colossal squid may help them spot predatory sperm whales in their dim undersea habitat, a new study finds.
These mysterious squid are tough to spot and even tougher to study in their natural habitat. But squid that have been caught or observed have huge, basketball-size peepers — three times the diameter of another other animal, including behemoths of similar size, such as swordfish.
