You mean this one?



Thanks to Red Staters these aliens no longer pose a threat to our planet and are considered politically neutered.

So... humans evolved from octopi, today?

"Science" is all over the place these days, like a pea in a whistle. On Tuesday science tells us that Terri's starvation is painless. On Monday they administer morphine. Friday we evolved from this, Saturday we evolved from that, Monday we evolved from the other thing.

Remarkable creatures. Their normal lifespan is only a couple years but they're extremely intelligent. They've been known to manipulate and open the latches on cages and then amble across boat decks to freedom.

I saw a special about them on the science channel a couple years ago. That being said, my personal contact with Octopi has generally been in the chilled food section of Asian hotel lunch and dinner buffets.

I have a commercial Sea Urchin Harvesing license and they are harmless. The bacteria in the spines can give you an infection but I am pretty sure they are not poisonous.

You almost never see this big guy in my neck of the woods (North of Boston.) but it is possible. I am going up to Nova Scotia in June and perhaps I will see one. It is the worlds largest Jellyfish. It can reach seven feet across and it's tentacles can go down 100' and yes, it IS potentially fatal to be stung by one. It's not the most poisonous but that is a relative thing for a beast like this. I give you the Lions Mane Jellyfish...

Under the water is the safest place to be if there are beasties lurking. It may be scary because you can see them but Divers are the least likely to get hit. We call swimmers "Shark-Bait".

I love the Ocean!

Arioch7 out!

We had a three-legged President. I believe he was from Arkansas.

Yeah, isn't the plural "Octopiss"?
