Octopus In Lurrve
Aww, romantic cephalopods. Cute, clever and animated:
I posted this once before quite a while back, but it’s so good it deserves another airing.
Cute Cute Cute
Daddy Cool
Wouldn’t you like fresh art in your lunchbox every day? Must be nice to have a dad who’d do this for his kids:
“A new bag each day for my kids.
I’m the dad. I make these during my lunch break.”

I For One Welcome Our 96-Armed Overlords
The permanent display at the Shima Marineland Aquarium in the town of Shima includes a 96-tentacled Common Octopus (Octopus vulgaris) that weighed 3.3 kilograms (about 7 lbs) and measured 90 centimeters (3 ft) long when it was captured in nearby Matoya Bay in December 1998. Before dying 5 months later, the creature laid eggs, making it the first known extra-tentacled octopus to do so in captivity. All the baby octopi hatched with the normal number of tentacles, but unfortunately they only survived a month.

Apparently there is no theory that fully explains the surplus tentacles, but they are believed to be the result of abnormal regeneration that occurred after the octopus suffered some sort of injury.
