Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for September 14, 2022

The eight peripheral “brains” of an octopus are technically ganglia (clusters of nerve cells), which allows each tentacle to act independently to a higher degree than the limbs of animals like humans. They don’t, however, work as backups for the central brain.

tell me, Jason Snake Lover, where is your tenth brain which you once had?

Minami Ito, if anyone cares.

Does that mean the captain is the Skipper of the zipper?

So where is the hippocampus?

Arms? Don’t you mean tentacles?

Better not go up against an octopus in the Squid Game!

most adolescent male humans have two brains and often only think with the smaller one.

Yes, for true enlightenment one must see the world’s oceans as pants. ~ Hirohito Yamagama, sake does help with that.

Take care, may famed linguist Jasper “It Is Time For All To Wake Up To The Misleading Term ‘Octopuses’ And Teach Our Children The Proper Term ‘Geese’ Yes They Are Geese And Masters Of Disguise” Beemerord be with you, and gesundheit.

Each tentacles has a brain?! That would explain why most of Splatoon’s enemies are sentient tentacles!

I believe the Octopus brains bit because Mrs. Fogwhistle confirmed it.

I have just one question for Mr. Suzuki……….WHY?

Please take a look at Manami actually playing violin and see if you can spot where the inept artist responsible for this travesty of a depiction went wrong!

So my friend was going away for the weekend and he has a pet octopus. He asked if I would look after it while he was gone and I agreed.

So I go over, and he explains what to feed it and when, how to keep the tank clean, keeping it stimulated, those kinds of things. And then he hands me a spade and says that the octopus has a habit of escaping the tank, and I’d need the spade to get it back in the tank.

No problem then. My friend leaves and the next day I go to his house and prepare some food and toys. Just as I’m leaving, I hear a noise and see the octopus has escaped, and since he has a wooden floor, the octopus has suctioned itself to the floor. Remembering my friend’s advice, I grab the spade and start scraping the tentacles off the floor.

Let me tell you it was hard work, you get a couple tentacles up and when you go to do the next one, one would slide off the spade and stick back to the floor. Anyway, I persevere for a good hour and eventually get the octopus back in the tank and make sure it’s all closed up.

I go back the next day to feed it more and see it’s escaped again. So I quickly throw the food in the tank and start the fight with the octopus. I can’t believe my friend has to put up with this on a daily basis but I keep at it until I hear a noise at the front door.

My friend has returned early and seeing my car outside, shouts hello as enters the house and comes looking for me. He comes into the room with the tank and shouts at me “what are you doing?!”, and trying not to sound sarcastic, I tell him I’m trying to get the octopus back in the tank.

He grabs the spade off of me and goes “not like that you idiot, watch” as he raises the spade in preparation to hit the octopus.

Suddenly, the octopus raises its tentacles to protect it’s head while my friend quickly scoops up the now free octopus and drops it in the tank.

Until next time.

We should start electing octopuses,instead of h umans with no brains.

Octipi will also be faster typists

Well, with an odd number of brains voting the octopus could get a majority consensus.

Finally a boat that can fly down the water

My daughter designed a zipper pull in the shape of a boat.

Good for Miss Ito and others who benefit from worthwhile technology. A real gift to her and others.

I would like to recommend “My Octopus Teacher” film on Netflix! They are NOT food!

So he can zip around on the water, I get it…

Technically that is a zipper pull

I’ll bet that boat just zips along.

Gotta call it a four way tie tonight! All excellent! Why four? Tuco provided two!

A man goes into a restaurant and he orders octopus from the seafood menu. The waiter says that’s all right, but he has to warn the guest, it takes four hours to prepare.

“Why does it take so long to prepare octopus? Is it hard to cook?” the customer asks.

“Not really” replies the waiter, “but the octopuses keep turning down the gas.”

What’s the formula for the visible surface area of an octopus?

octopi*r2

What is an octopus’s favorite band?

Ink Floyd

And when they can’t make their mind up the can’t make their mind up…..

I think someone doesn’t know how a violin works.
