  2. I'm not big on shrimp, but I think this calls for a Red Lobster response.

    Anything with a problem-solving brain, plus claws like that, I'd rather deal with after it's been properly broiled, and dipped in melted butter. Before it has a chance to evolve further.

    cheers

  3. I call shenanigans. The shrimp clearly disassembled the cube and put it back together in a solved configuration while we weren't looking.

Rules for submitting comments:

1. No profanity. I maintain the pretense that this is a family-friendly site.

2. Stay on topic. A bit of straying and off-hand commenting is okay, but hijacking the discussion is right out.

3. No ad hominem attacks. Attack the subject, not the other person on the thread and keep the discussion civil.

4. No spamming or commercial endorsements. These get deleted immediately.

Tip: Beware of putting hyperlinks in your comments–especially at the end. For some reason, Blogger interprets these as spam.

Note: Due to the recent spate of anonymous spamming, registration for comments is now required.
