Mysteries Solved

I found out the mystery of the fish mosaic at Delancey: It's because the station is located below the fish market on Essex.

I found out the mystery of the photo of my great-uncle's father: He was in the Texas militia circa 1899.

However, the mystery of the origins of the alien octopus is still unsolved.

Alien octopus at large. News at 11.

The fish market link was probably obvious to most, but not to me, which is not too unusual.

I find it kind of odd, though. Because now when I see the fish, I imagine that they are crying out for help because they know they will soon be killed, sold, and eaten.

Do you dave a digital camera, VL?

Or can someone freezeframe the Beasties video?

Oh, these unhealthy obsessions.

I don't know from the alien octopus: does it predate the Beastie Boys song? Because a Google search on "Beastie Boys" and "octopus" reveals a connection, including an extended Beastie Boys video featuring an octopus.
