"QUANTUM SHOT" #157You may not know about Cthulhu, but they know about you The last post about Antarctica reminded me of that "unspeakable delicacy" of Lovecraft's imagination, namely the Cthulhu - "the Great Old Ones who lived ages before there were any men, and who came to the young world out of the sky." ![]() (image credit: Dominique Signoret) According to contemporary belief, a few of the species still lie dreaming, sleeping until the time comes - sort of like Lenin in his mausoleum, but infinitely more malevolent. This post serves to remind us of the coming threat ...and increase world awareness of Lenin's miserable plight - his ghost can not get any rest until the body gets a decent burial :) Cthulhu pipe: ![]() Cthulhu picture frame: ![]() Cthulhu leather mask (weather-proof) ![]() ![]() Cthulhu and H. P. Lovecraft postage stamps: ![]() Miskatonic University Antarctic Expedition Sweatshirt Yes, the same Expedition, terrorized at the Mountains of Madness by various unspeakables and unmentionables. ![]() available here T-shirt: ![]() All of the above images are from a very peculiar site Cthulhu Lives Cthulhu for kids Signs of Cthulhu were spotted in a former Russian Communist Pioneer Camp: see photographic evidence in a link here Architecture like that helps impressionable children to get used to the Cthulhu's presence (which would also explain a lot of weirdness in Soviet Russia) ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Cthulhu toys: ![]() (see more at John Kovalic's site) Also see this Flickr set for nature's weirdest Cthulhu approximation. The Mutant Lemon ![]() More edible "mini-Cthulhu": ![]() For the strangely Lovecraftian pastime for housewives, see this "Brain on Wool", and other examples of Scientifically Accurate Fabric Brain Art: ![]() then take a stroll through the inviting woods: ![]() CONTINUE TO "AIRSHIPS & TENTACLES"! -> Permanent Link...

To be pedantic, Cthulhu is not a species, but a specific unique entity, one of the Great Old Ones - essentially an exceedingly malevolent and locally powerful immortal being.
(Comparable, say, to a minor God in the Greek pantheon, but without any regard for humanity and with pseudopods.)
Yeah, but have you hugged the Shoggoth?
