During “Friday Night Discussion”, aka pizza and pitchers, a question was posed. Which is prettier, Britney Spears or the Kraken?

Craig McClain is the Executive Director of the Lousiana University Marine Consortium. He has conducted deep-sea research for 20 years and published over 50 papers in the area. He has participated in and led dozens of oceanographic expeditions taken him to the Antarctic and the most remote regions of the Pacific and Atlantic. Craig’s research focuses on how energy drives the biology of marine invertebrates from individuals to ecosystems, specifically, seeking to uncover how organisms are adapted to different levels of carbon availability, i.e. food, and how this determines the kinds and number of species in different parts of the oceans. Additionally, Craig is obsessed with the size of things. Sometimes this translated into actually scientific research. Craig’s research has been featured on National Public Radio, Discovery Channel, Fox News, National Geographic and ABC News. In addition to his scientific research, Craig also advocates the need for scientists to connect with the public and is the founder and chief editor of the acclaimed Deep-Sea News (http://deepseanews.com/), a popular ocean-themed blog that has won numerous awards. His writing has been featured in Cosmos, Science Illustrated, American Scientist, Wired, Mental Floss, and the Open Lab: The Best Science Writing on the Web.
I think PZ would be offended that someone would even dare ask this question!
I vote for the Kraken. That pic of Britney is horrible.
The intelligent look in the Kraken’s eye is very sexy.
Does Kraken make sing? If no, I think we have a winner….
Another vote for the Kraken. I’ll bet it sings better, too. It’s a preconception by mediocre minds that squids can only live in water.
……and look at those legs. Kraken it is.
Britnery doesn’t come in a nice hue of pinkish-violet. Besides that siphon is to die for!
Kraken hands down.
