S calls me or emails me newsbits on things he thinks I may be interested in.
Like news about Britney Spears or some random celebrity I like. (Her last album was so not good, by the way.) Even though he could care less about them, it's exciting news to me so he sends them my way.
Today he sends me: "World's First Six-Legged Octopus Found"
Man, I LOVE octopus and squid! They are so tasty! Calamari, anyone?
This 6-legged octopus, named Henry, has been dubbed a "hexapus" instead.
S says, "Less yummy parts to eat though". How true.
"It has also been mentioned in the grapevine that he was named after King Henry the VIII who had six wives when he should have had eight." Haha, they are so clever. "Octopuses are renowned for having three hearts, blue blood and the ability to alter their skin complexion in the blink of an eye." Wow, I want to alter my skin complexion in the blink of an eye.
Included in the link is a number of other recently discovered animals and plants. It's so amazing to think that there are all these marvelous unknown lives out there living peacefully somewhere. Us waiting to chance upon them and them to chance upon us. Thinking about stuff like this blows my mind. And this is just the world that we live in…
