Two videos about octopuses that I saw on National Geographic's website today impressed me. They are both borderline weekend comedy type videos but they are interesting enough that I wanted to share here:
Shark vs. Octopus
Coconut-carrying Octopus: (no sound, but you can read about it here)

I'm not going to lie, I did not think octopuses were so badass. Also did you know that octopi is not the preferred plural form for octopus? Weird.
ReplyDeleteHaha - I was just going to remark on octopuses, and call you out on your lack of octopi use. Damn...
ReplyDeleteAfter actually watching the videos:
ReplyDelete1) Aquarium-keepers are dumb. Shouldn't they know that octopi (can't bring myself to say octopuses - feels like I'm saying gooses) and sharks don't get along? Shouldn't the two animals not be in the same tank?
2) That's just goofy - the dood just gallops across the floor with a coconut attached to it's belly?!?
1. I'm with Scott on the octopuses/octopi thing.
ReplyDelete2. Do you watch Life on NatGeo? I think it's on NatGeo. Great show!
3. The all-green room is actually the parking structure on Broxton in Westwood. 3rd floor. And I enjoy the comments on peripherals. I know my bf/photographer would appreciate them because he likes to take good photos, not just plain Jane outfit pictures. Thanks for the feedback.
4. I think there is a niche market for your same-ish-different-day fashion blog. Let's make it happen!

At least nobody made an Octopusi joke
ReplyDeleteNeekoh I do not watch Life on NatGeo (aka Natty Geo) but I am immediately going to start. I hope like heck I get NatGeo channel in HD though.
Also I still feel like I owe you after apparently lying to you about 4th & Bleeker commenting on your blog. Um, sorry?
Dude, you can't talk about octopi being bad ass and then not talk about this critter that steals a camera. Ballsy.
ReplyDeleteThe video is actually really beautiful.
Yes, you owe me. Have her seriously comment. :P
ReplyDeleteAll's good. I wasn't too disappointed because, frankly, it wasn't even expected. :)
I believe Life is shown on the Discovery Channel. It was fun series, but I think it didn't live up to its predecessor: Planet Earth.
ReplyDeleteHow neat is it that there's a song out there with the lyrics "I love you octopus" - that's just insane, right?!?!
Did Dicovery Channel change it's name to Science Channel?
