There it is you all, the stupidest thing I will read all day and it's only 5:52 am

The day is young.

It was buy one get 50 free.

[Hot Tabasco]

LOL! There’s a guy who has a Youtube channel who documents the life of a lobster he rescued from the fish dept. at his local supermarket......

Octopi are smarter than dogs and they are known for leaving their cages if they can. They will eat your small pets if they get a hold of them.

Suckers!

I recently read a book, “Remarkably Bright Creatures”, a novel by Shelby Van Pelt. I wasn’t expecting much, but I was fascinated by the octopus in a documentary I watched on Netflix called “My Octopus Teacher.”

To my surprise the book was a beautiful fantastic surprise and one of the best I have read this year. Here is a summery of the book…..

After Tova Sullivan’s husband died, she began working the night shift at an Aquarium. That helped her cope with her loses, especially that of her eighteen-year-old son who mysteriously vanished on a boat in Puget Sound over thirty years ago.

Tova becomes acquainted with curmudgeonly Marcellus, a giant Pacific octopus living at the aquarium. Marcellus knows more than anyone can imagine but wouldn’t dream of lifting one of his eight arms for his human captors—until he forms a remarkable friendship with Tova. Of course he can’t talk to her, but finds ways to communicate.

Ever the detective, Marcellus deduces what happened the night Tova’s son disappeared. And now Marcellus must use every trick his old invertebrate body can muster to unearth the truth for her before it’s too late.

Flat Cats Factorial, or, The Trouble With Tribbles.

Spay or neuter your octopus.

I think there’s a pet derangement syndrome, whereby the person is obligated to take in any stray that comes their way.

How many people do you know who have ten cats or five dogs, and all strays.

Why not release the babies into the ocean?

Or flush them down the toilet?

Or eat them

[Blue Highway]

You beat me by an hour

[dblshot]

Sounds like a sticky situation.

[ptsal]

The story is almost another illustration of open borders.

[albie]

The dad is stupid for getting a pet octopus and stupider for not knowing how to get rid of them

[ArtDodger]

I’m not so sure what they are so up in arms about.

Cameron Clifford, a 36-year-old dentist, said his son Cal had been obsessed with octopuses since the age of three.

Wow, it's like Cal Worthington and his dog Spot, only different.

If you want some better luck don't see Cal
If you'll embrace the suck, go see Cal... 🐙

Maybe not different. Cal even had an octopus (0:49) --

go see cal

[Mopp4]

Clifford documented the journey on TikTok, where his videos amassed millions of views from 400,000 followers.

Aha! The real motivation is revealed.....it was all for the views.

Dump ‘em out on the driveway on a hot summer day. Then compost ‘em. Good for the garden.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

Wow. Preemptive solution? “No. You may not have an octopus for a pet”. After the fact? Flush the 50 kids down the toilet.
