He's a Radial Symmetrist!
Aaaagh!
I should have realised it when I saw the little icon of an octopus on his blog.
How more proof DO WE NEED?!

Hm. Ugly modern churches also have radial symmetry. Coincidence?
Hilary, I took this photo just for you: http://www.flickr.com/photos/msabeln/2697432819/
Not only that, the Presiding Bishopess of the Episcopal Church is a former oceanographer:
She earned a bachelor’s degree (1974) in biology from Stanford University and a master’s (1977) and doctorate (1983) in oceanography from Oregon State University, where she specialized in the evolution of squids and octopuses of the northeastern Pacific.
I do believe you're starting to persuade me about the cephalopod threat...
peace,
