Octopuses Are Weird


No, the plural of Octopus is not Octopi - I checked.

Silly human with their useless 1 brain - haha I have 9!!...yet none of them have figured out how to talk yet...stupid brains..

They have Blue Blood

 This guy tried out for the series 'Blue Bloods' but was denied due to what he called 'Octopism'
Said that since he could not wear the uniform properly - or show up for roll call - or survive on land - or read people their rights...
Be he knew.. 
Jealous of his Brains and Legs... also his ability to actually BLEED BLUE

You can tell he still hasn't gotten over this.

In Africa, there is a tree that looks like it's bleeding when you cut it.
Dracaena Cinnabari

Located in Socotra Archipelago off the horn of Africa

HEY! TREES HAVE FEELINGS TOO!
Maybe...

If you cut it, does it not bleed?

Makes you think a bit differently when you cut the limbs off this tree.
They call the sap from this tree - yes it's sap .. not blood.. sorry
 Dragons Blood.
Funny, we just call our trees blood Maple Syrup.
I find this disturbing.
The fact that I find this disturbing confused me..

Make sure someone claims your body..
Or you may end up as a book cover.

Des Destinees de l'Ame

http://www.ibtimes.com/human-skin-bound-arsene-houssaye-book-discovered-harvard-library-1594911
 Harvard has a book bound with Human Skin. 
Des Destinees de l'Ame
Is the name of the book.
Though it may also be named Shelly, or Ann, or Rebecka ..
An unclaimed body of a woman who died in a mental institution of natural causes, will be unnaturally preserved as a book cover. 
Weird. 

In case you wondered.. no Harvard is not the only place with a people skin book.
