Giant octopus, squid, and tea cup
Tentacled monsters abound in the MoCCA Art Festival poster by Molly Crabapple and Nicola Black. Lots of desktop and iPhone wallpapers in the freebies section of Molly's site, and she has a coloring book on sale here.
While looking through Nicola's site, I found this poster for the March session of Dr. Sketchy's Philadelphia.
The session theme was "Sketchy's in Wonderland."

Now this is a screenshot (link roundup)
Just enjoy this giant octopus-filled screenshot from upcoming Wii game Muramasa: The Demon Blade. The gameplay on display in this trailer looks awfully lackluster. Via.
And a few more links:
1. Were the British defeated in Iraq?
2. Before there was the internet, the hot craze was hunkerin? Via.
3. A government employee who went on the same Mexico trip as Obama became infected with swine flu and passed it to his family, and yet Obama's doctors "see no need to conduct any tests?"
4. Jose Canseco is going to fight a 7'2" Korean in a mixed martial arts fight?

Victorian octopus (link roundup)
Victorian octopus with a mustache by Mike Hiscott. High-res image here, along with a not safe for work drawing.
And a few more links:
1. A cat and his bodyguards, perhaps?
2. Breastfeeding and ninjas are a surprisingly funny match.
3. Michale Crichton's pilot script for ER was 20 years old when the first episode was made. Also, the pilot was screened on cable television. People were recruited to watch it, but if you were lucky, you would have just stumbled upon it by accident. Two of the interesting factoids from this article. (And I've only ever watched a single episode.)
4. I don't think it's online anywhere but there's a "You're the next studio head" board game by Chip Wass in the March issue of Los Angeles magazine.

There was an all-women Soviet bomber regiment called the Night Witches
A Soviet all-woman bomber regiment was nicknamed the "Night Witches" (Nachthexen) by the Germans. The Night Witches flew 23,000 sorties and was the most highly-decorated unit in the Soviet Air Force. You can see a preview of Garth Ennis' new comic about them here. Via.
Here's a few more links:
This logo for Art Van Furniture has been found to violate Hershey's trademark. Via.
There's a new iTunes game called Tap Tap Revenge: Nine Inch Nails Edition that features music from the last two NIN albums. A high score could earn you merchandise and concert tickets. Via.
1. The blog started by former EGM editors Dan "Shoe" Hsu and Crispin Boyer has already managed to get itself banned from using Google AdSense.
2. Target (wrongfully) suspected a woman of trying to pass counterfeit bills and referred her name to the authorities, which led to Secret Service agents visiting her at work. She sued Target for defamation and just received a $3.1 million judgment. Target plans to appeal, but her attorney had a great line: "Where can we buy her back her good name? We've looked, and you can't buy it at Target." Via.
3. Per Rich Johnston, "Astonishing X-Men: Ghost Boxes" had 16 pages of story, and a cover price of $3.99. It can't get much clearer. Marvel thinks anyone buying new comics at the store is a sucker.
4. "Bandit catchers" are volunteers who work marathons and make sure no one who sneaks onto the course gets to cross the finish line without running the full race. Via.
5. An octopus at an aquarium in Germany shortcircuited the power to the entire aquarium by squirting water at a particular light he didn't care for, has been seen juggling crabs, smashes the tank with rocks, and periodically rearranges the scenery. So, if you believe in reincarnation, is this guy ready to be human, or a recently devolved criminal?
