Nearly 300 giant Pacific octopus eggs hatched earlier this week at an aquarium in Canada.

Sure, they're cute now, but just wait...

It's a whole another reality down there. Maybe more than one?

Imagine something sentient looking like this.

I see a delicate and beautiful creature that testifies to the existence of its wonderful Creator.

“Octopuses”? I thought the plural form was “Octopi”.

The only instructions I could offer the zoo is not to feed and water them (especially after midnight).

That’s squid. In Italian, octopus is “pulpae”. In Portuguese, it’s Christmas Eve dinner.

I believe we have 800 octopuses. If we had more than one type of octopus in there, we would have octopi.

You should seee the 13 inch Sea Cucumber in our 250 gal salt water reef aquarium. Reminds me of a Graboid from the movie Tremors.
