I go do something that keeps my hands busy but frees my mind to mull over the problem. Crafts, weeding, ironing (and plucking my eyebrows!) all work really well.

Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water…

Actually, it’s still pretty safe in the water, at least when it comes to these squid. Despite their scientific name– Vampyroteuthis infernalis— literally meaning “vampire squid from hell,” there’s nothing inherently vampiric or infernal about these creatures.
