Octopus Week = 8 Wacky days!

OCTOPUS ATTACK!!!


I have just kicked off Octopus week! This very unofficial (and here to fore unheard of) 8 day week celebrates our 8 tentacled friends. Why should we celebrate? and what's so special about octopi anyway?! Great questions - let's see if we can come up with 8 good reasons. I'll do my best to provide one a day...

Day One - Reason #1 - Octopi have very large heads.

This is a relatively true and obvious statement, though I can't think of what they need big heads for. Maybe if my head was bigger, I could come up with something. I'll give credit to craniums when it's due - and with the octopus, I think my unabashed awe is warranted. In fact - I can't think of another creature with a head as drastically disproportionate to it's remaining appendages.

Kudos to new found artist Jason Sho Green - more on Popcling!
