HERE IS A VIDEO OF A CUTTLEFISH IN ITS NATURAL ENVIRONMENT

Man, a pym just loves a good dichotomy. Are you ready? Set?

'The Sabine L'

This has been my online path for the past hour: 1) Pretty Little Liars 2) Etymonline entry for lachrymose:            http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?allowed_in_frame=0&search=lachrymose&searchmode=none 3) Wikipedia "Sabine L", end up at:            http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Novensiles#Sabine_origin 4) Finally arrive at the Wikipedia for Osco-Umbrian Languages:            http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osco-Umbrian_languages 5) Return to Pretty Little Liars
