Yes, that’s us.

Q: do millions of people have IQ 160

Take these calculations with a grain of salt, but an IQ of 160 is supposed to represent the top 0.00063% of the population. Out of the whole world that’s about 424,000 people, roughly the population of Portland, Oregon. That’s a lot of people, but not millions.

Q: j. b. s. haldane quote rabbit

Haldane once said that to falsify the theory of evolution, all one would need to do is find a rabbit fossil from the Cambrian era.

Q: fossilized rabbit

Yes, I made up a photoshop of a rabbit fossil among Cambrian trilobites.

Q: Wilfred Splenebyrst

Yes, I made that up too. You will not find any other references to the scientific papers of Dr Splenebyrst because he does not exist. The ridiculous name should have been a tip-off. Likewise the fact that he works at the London School of Ergonomics.

Q: is squid high in fat

Speaking for myself, yes.

Q: “rubber tentacles”

In future, you might want to limit your searches to anime sites. And seek counselling.

Q: is talking squid reputable

I’d like to think not…hang on a sec. I know who you are. You’re the one wondering if the Cambrian rabbit story is real. It was a joke, all right?

Q: talking squid info

Why don’t you just look at the About page. It would save you a lot of time. And the Cambrian rabbit is still a joke. Sheesh.

Q: double indemnity camera works

The shot of Barbara Stanwyck driving as her husband is murdered: one of the greatest uses of camera technique in film history.

Q: publisher for talking squid

It’s a private blog. It is published with WordPress on a hosting service. What? You think it’s part of some evil liberal conspiracy to spread nazi-darwinism? I know, you were hoping Talking Squid was funded by Fidel Castro, or the estate of Ted Kennedy, right?

Q: who authorised talking squid

Oh for crying out loud. Talking Squid doesn’t need authorisation. Let me state that again, with emphasis. Talking Squid doesn’t need no stinkin’ authorisation. Did you think we had to fill in form QSW-443a for approval to satirise your precious Cambrian belief system?
