Happy Octopus Day! And octopuses or octopi are both acceptable ways to refer to more than one octopus. What does that have to do with my writing? And do octopuses know how to write?
At this point, there are at least several octopi who could probably write better than me. It’s been a very up and down year for me which has interfered with my ability or desire to write. Coincidentally, today, World Octopus Day is the day me and my octopus friends decided that I’d step back into the ring. Do I really have octopi friends? No, …not that I’m aware of. If you are a writing octopi, please say so in the comments!
If I did have octopus friends, they would look like that picture. I wonder if the octopuses are thinking that if they had human friends, would they look like me?
That’s only one video of one octopus opening a jar. If you Google “octopus opening a jar.” you’ll find plenty more. Octopuses are smart enough to open jars. What if they realized that submarines are just big jars? That could be a problem.
In the first paragraph I wondered if octopi could write. Here’s a picture, but that depiction seems a little dubious. So at least, for now, I’m assuming I can write better than octopuses.
Also, as far as octopuses go, I have a blog and I’m not giving it up yet. Thank you for sticking with me. The future road is in progress. Today really is World Octopus Day, so if you see one, shake one of his or hers tentacles. You can do the same if you see me too.
Thanks for reading! ~Phil
