This is an octpus with 96 tentacles...

... And it is alive! I am at work so i got to rush this one. This creature was originally spotted at NotCot.org where I said to myself, "yeah, i am going to share it," and all of the above websites found it at... where else? Pink Tentacle.com

Go to Pink Tentacle and see a photo of it laying eggs. I bet this creature would not have survived in the wild, but since it is both creepy and "cthulhu-like" it's gene pool will live on as we humans make a new race of chimeric octopi simply for our viewing pleasure. [Link]

If you don't believe me, just look at any chihuahua! How did natural selection come up with THAT!

Tofua Island - Largest swimming pool in the world and it has a volcano to keep the water "heated" as well.

Forget that swimming pool in Chile, this beast makes it look like a Wham-O Slip n' Slide. According to my estimates the pool in the center is 6 kilometers wide! And note the volcano at the upper portion of the pool. Simply epic! [Link]

This island looks like it was the set for a James Bond Movie circa 1967.

This is not a crowd of people - it's a crowd a people in a swimming pool in Japan

Well, not exactly a swimming pool but rather a wave pool. I found this at kilian-nakamura.

One reader comment to the photo above was rather amusing: "...Americans would not be able to handle that kind of closeness. There would be fights. It is a testament to the manners in Japanese society...."

Then the retort: "I agree with Clayton. Americans would not be able handle that kind of stupidity..."

See the below You Tube of the spectacle once a wave rolls by:
