I feel like blowing some really gorgeous vessels and tossing them into the sea to provide homes for octopuses. Now, that's a real life purpose.

Can a dog help you open a pickle jar??? No. Can a dog help you fetch those last olives at the bottom of the jar??? No. Can a dog help you fight a crab infestation???? No!! And what would you rather have in your Habitrail? A stupid hamster? No!
Octopuses are superior in every way.
Also, pitbulls are so lame compared to thisLast edited by DrippingGoofball on Tue Dec 15, 2009 5:49 am, edited 1 time in total.Paraphrasing a role PM takes seconds, fabricating a good fakeclaim takes an eternity.

Hahaha I actually thought about telling the story about why I know this, but figured it was irrelevant. But since I've been called out as pedantic or something:Nuwen wrote:

Two days before (American) thanksgiving last month, I was in the airport to fly to my parent's house on a red-eye (i.e. around a midnight flight on the west coast that gets in in the morning on the east). I had stopped at a bar to wait for my flight, and I sat next to this woman. We talked a little and I found out she was a Marine Biologist from the University of Hawaii. Her current job is shark diving (studying sharks by actually diving with them), but she said her real love were octopuses. At some point I said something and used the word octopi. She corrected me, telling me it's not actually a word from Latin, so it's just octopuses.
Anyway, you can find a discussion about the correct terminology at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octopus#Terminology
Oh, and more to the quoted point: why is knowing the linguistic reason for something oh-so-much-better than memorizing off a list?.- DrippingGoofball

Someone who has miscellaneous spelling nuances committed to memory:
Someone with an anecdotal understanding of octopuses (you are here):
Someone who speaks Greek and Latin:
