I was going to post this last night, but for some reason didn't, despite it being hugely interesting.

I blame the dissuassive psychic powers of the secretive squid!

And argh, yes, it looks like something out of H G Wells. Brr! Etc.

How so? He'd plague us with bizarre nightmares, whisper terrible tales of faeces in our ears, and destroy our sanity.

I didn't realise that cthulhu was such a modern creation - I thought it was a character from folklore, like the kappa.

Ooo, there is a particular nasty little story on Pseudopod this week. A journalist does a story on an author that is obviously based on Lovecraft.

There was an amusing short story by Neil Gaiman, which was a hybrid of the old Peter Cook & Dudley Moore two-men-in-a-pub routines and, well, Lovecraft. I believe you can find it in his Smoke & Mirrors collection.

Everybody always assumes that Cthulu coming back equals bad things. I'm sure he'll be a friendly sort with sound policies for a happier Britain.
