What a wonderful creature to see on my birthday. He's my favorite of the new found creatures this year. His eyes make him look so goofy but the fact that he's inside out just blows my mind! I love him!

Happy Birthday, Des!

What if Eddie's built correctly, and WE're inside out!? Think of that next time you touch someone's skin.

Well done, Patty P. Made my morning smile just a touch goofier. 8^>

What?! This thing is real?! For some reason I hadn't read the captions first time around and thought it was a kids' pool plastic floaty toy.

Doesn't it look fake? :)

Way to go, Eddie! Hey, Meg, for this honor I think Eddie deserves more than a head tilt - how 'bout a big ol' kees on the... um... leeps?

Babs

hahahahaahahah, omg i remember this lil guy, and his GIANT googly eyeballs!!!!!!!!

Allegra
 |  Dec 17, 2007 at 06:34 AM

Googly eyeballs and polka dots!!!! I can't believe this is a real creature! Where can I get one? Does it bite?

Melinda

Awesome! Congrats!

Jane Goodall, Dian Fossey, Rachel Carson, Meg Frost.
Yay! Woot!

Welcome to the next generation of cute, it's all grown up now.

Qte: It's genius.

Now if we could just get Scientific American to quote CO, it would be so irrefutibly(sp?) legit that Meg would have to assume a public office created especially for her. Commander in Chief, Qte Division.

Congratulations, Meg!

I just love this web site. It makes me laugh everytime I visit.

Leslie
 |  Dec 17, 2007 at 08:53 AM

OOOH yes, long-deserved and finally achieved. (Isn't it nice to know that even the science-geek types look in on us here at CO?) Meg, you ROCK! PS - I admit to being one o' them science-geek types)

I knew I liked NG for a reason.

 |  Dec 17, 2007 at 09:49 AM

Yet another Michele- If a dept. is started, teh so called Qte Division, Meg will need a lot of back up. Like office workers. We could have the CO dream office at last. Only I think there should be no office chairs, cubicles or desks, only big squashy beds, like this one:

Even though all the other sea horses made fun of him and gave him derogatory nicknames, here he is now, a star, and an inspiration for all of us. Congratulations on your success Mr. McBlobbules *clap clap clap*

 |  Dec 17, 2007 at 12:39 PM

Sweet! This is by far the coolest mention yet (maybe just because I'm a total nerd...)

R. Moore
 |  Dec 17, 2007 at 01:13 PM

Tell the world, National Geographic, tell them all about the fun we're having. And maybe, JUST MAYBE, y'all can pull some strings for that Beluga whale naming contest so the Cuteologists can have their way?

Hey, did anyone else notice that this dude's scientific name is Teuthowenia Megalops? Meg-alops!
Although Eddie McBlobbules is a great name, I'm going to call him Tewtel-weenie Megalops from now on.

skippy
 |  Dec 17, 2007 at 05:46 PM

I'm falling in love with Eddie McBlobbules all over again.

kimski
 |  Dec 17, 2007 at 06:38 PM

That is beyond awesome. I hope you're as proud of what you're doing here as you should be. Seriously, you really make most of my days. I've been stuck at home recovering from a car accident for THREE MONTHS. And every day I look forward to reading Cute Overload. You rock!!

Yitzysmommie

 |  Dec 18, 2007 at 08:31 PM

Wheee!!!! National Geographic!!!! That's awesome!!! Not to mention a FABULOUS nod to the wittiest of captioners, Meg!

Isn't it time for a "Nat'l Geo Explorer" all about CO??? The dangerous, exhilaring search for the QTE?

Happy Holidays to Meg, Theo and all you cuteologists (including the 4-legged family members) from me and my 7 "kids"!!!

gail
 |  Dec 19, 2007 at 05:07 AM

Wait...National Geographic quoting CO?! The sun started revolving around the earth, which is now flat, gravity has ceased to exist, and Donald Trump's hair is attractive! Then I read the quote, and holy freikin' crap, that is the BEST description anyone could come up with!!! GOOD JOB, MEG! =D =D =D =D
