A happy ending for an octopus ...

I'll never eat another one.

Right on, brother. Great video, other than a glaring error.  The plural of octopus is not octopi.  It's octopuses.  They are amazing creatures that once I started learning about them I could never eat them again.  Same for other cephalopods, like squid.

Here's a cool photo I took of one off Saipan hanging out inside a coral head.  The red is its eye.

Very well done video, and interesting!

I've never been interested in eating octopus, but I have seen them in Hood's Canal Washington while scuba diving.

I have also NOT seen them, because their ability to conceal themselves is incredible. On that same dive, my dive buddy and I found a big hole in a rock wall about 20 feet underwater and looked all over the inside of it with our dive lights.  When we surfaced, my buddy said "Wow! What did you think of that big octopus in the back of that hole?"  I had to admit I never recognized it, although it was less than 3 feet away.

And I thought is was octopussies!

It certainly takes some practice to spot them.  But lately I've been more into macro, like finding nudibranchs.

If that were only directed at me.

Now I always thought those were local chapters of naturist associations?

Can I comfort you somewhat?

A new survey says that left-handed people have bested their dexterity disadvantage in at least one area: the bedroom. Lefties are reportedly 71% more sexually satisfied than the average right-handed lover.

Nature always compensates.

That sneaky left hand coming out of nowhere. A bit revolting really. It just ain't right.
