It's the WC octopus. Ahmadinejad wants to make calamari out of him

Ahmadinejad called the clever cephalopod an agent of "western propaganda and superstition," and described him as a symbol of all that is wrong with the western world

But idolising a mysogynistic paedophile from a 1500 years ago is A-ok.

Good man Achmed.

Would that be the same fox network who threatened to sue the makers of the Simpsons for libeling them, untill it was pointed out (by Homer i think!) that fox are themselves, the makers of the Simpsons!

I wont be going drinking with Ahmadinejad anytime soon, he would ruin a perfectly good night for all no doubt.

No, it's the fox network that does documentaries all about foxes.

It better not be!

I just bought Persepolis on BluRay and I'd consider such affrontery after my efforts to take an interest in their history & culture to be a personal insult.

Not all the time, Einstein:

"Molluscs are highly diverse, not only in size and in anatomical structure, but also in behaviour and in habitat. The phylum Mollusca is typically divided into nine or ten taxonomic classes, of which two are extinct. The gastropods (snails and slugs) include by far the most classified species, accounting for 80% of the total. Cephalopod molluscs such as squid, cuttlefish and octopus are among the most neurologically advanced invertebrates. Either the giant squid or the colossal squid is the largest known species of animal without a backbone."

Paul is good, but he's no Sharktopus. Is Sharktopus a mollusc too then?

Proabably, but I doubt he tastes as good when battered and deep-fried.
