It was a time of deep darkness, before the first crustacean or fish. Into this amphibious void came the Giant Octopi known as FSM. With his eight tentacles, enormous testicles and all seeing eyes he created the Cephalopods known as Octopi and Squid.<\/span> <\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS,Geneva; font-size: 14pt;\">The oceans were colorless at that time, so he squirted his great inkiness into this domain. The shallow seas remained churned by the gods of the air and the coloration was blue.\u00a0 The remainder of his inkiness settled downward and the ocean became ever darker and the creatures of the land could not penetrate those great depths.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS,Geneva; font-size: 14pt;\">The FSM gave the care of the sea that surrounded him to his minions and they can be found guarding the oceans under the boulders he had deposited for them to live under. FSM filled the seas with living things: diatoms and krill to feed new swimming creatures of every sort. He even created squid and penguins that would dine upon the multitude. He created sharks, turtles and whales. Some of these even ventured upon the land. The whales would return. His angels the flying squid could even fly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS,Geneva; font-size: 14pt;\">To the coastal regions he created <a title=\"Kelp\" href=\"http:\/\/oceanservice.noaa.gov\/facts\/kelp.html\">Kelp<\/a> and in this sub domain of great forests would be the sea anemone, crab, starfish and non-gilled animals like the seal. On the fifth day he was satisfied, and sank to the deep abyss of his Pacific ocean. Centered near Hawaii, his tentacles reached from East to West and North to South, breathing life into the Pacific Rim with every quiver of his body.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS,Geneva; font-size: 14pt;\">Soon creatures (he had not breathed his soul into) would intrude. From<strong> land<\/strong>, they would sail upon his domain and harvest the Whale and Octopus. Even his archangel the Giant Squid or <a title=\"kraken\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Kraken\">Kraken <\/a>could not end this plague on the oceans. This would make him furious and he would stretch his limbs and pull on these <a title=\"tectonics\" href=\"http:\/\/www.windows2universe.org\/earth\/interior\/RIM_of_FIRE.html\">tectonic hinges<\/a> causing, fire, eruptions, quakes and tsunamis to cull out those he had not created.
