I think now would be a good time to point out that when I first saw the title of this thread, I totally had the wrong idea.

I have no idea what any of you are talking about. You're all crazy. Get off the road.

Meanwhile, speaking of animals I found out about through that webcomic, here's the vampire squid from hell. Well, okay. To be more accurate, I should give its scientific name: "the vampire squid from hell."

Like other deep-sea cephalopods, Vampire Squid lack ink sacs. If threatened, instead of ink, a sticky cloud of bioluminescent mucus containing innumerable orbs of blue light is ejected from the arm tips.
If it were green or pink or orange light, I'd just admire it for being able to do that, but dude. BLUE.

I want one for a pet.

There were a couple of PBS programs (either Nature or NOVA) that gave a good look at these critters. Very cool.
