The real ones are much cuter.

hitched

Given the word hitched, I immediately thought of knots and wondered if octopuses ever tied their legs in knots. Googling "octopus knots", I didn't find any hits for that, but it turns out that Moray eels do tie themselves in knots, when they prey on octopuses. So this is a picture of a Moray eel and an octopus knotted around each other fighting.

Lately I've been working through the Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs by Abelson, Sussman, and Sussman, to try to learn about programming and computer science.

I just finished section 2.2, where they introduce a "picture language" for making Escher-type designs from picture elements called painters. So I was inspired to try to make my own. I'm not sure if I could add colours to the pictures in the Scheme compiler I'm using so I made up analogous functions in Pygame (and then I added in the background gradient afterwards).
