Nearly Normal (=>÷)Despite the fact that I am evolutionarily quite distant from octopuses, I also have a most precious arm which I endeavour to keep safe and to prevent it from getting damaged or bitten off by a predator.
Dharma Cowboy@Spoon man, I hope that Haruki asked for consent first
@dharmadan you 'raise' a very important question here. I sincerely hope that this is not an example of octobuse - or should that be 'octabuse', I can never remember.
@Spoon In the interests of harmonious cephalopod / human relations, I did think it was worth running it up the flagpole. It can be a sensitive topic.
@dharmadan I am in complete agreement here and I am sure you will recognise that despite the evolutionary gulf there are certain inalienable similarities.
For instance, whilst the octopus has no brain, humans, mostly, have one, but don't use it.
