The world's lamest octopus
CNN.com can be really silly sometimes. Just the other day, I saw this headline....
First of all, isn't "six-legged octopus" an oxymoron? You do know what the prefix "octo-" means, right? And why is this under the technology section? Is your six-legged octopus some kind of sinister robot from the future?
The British scientists who discovered the strange creature called it a "hexapus" and named it Henry. "Henry the hexapus"? That sounds so lame. I guess "six-legged octopus" wasn't so bad after all.
Introducing the hexapus: 25% less sushi
The article said that Henry was the first six-legged octopus ever found, but I knew I had seen something like that somewhere before. I just couldn't for the life of me remember where. Then, earlier tonight, as I was digging through old pictures in search for blog ideas, I found it.
You sure this was made in China? I thought the Chinese are good at math.
I saw that "octopus" stuffed toy in a souvenir shop in Subic a few months ago. I took a picture because I couldn't get over how stupid the idea of a six-legged octopus is.
Well, I guess I was wrong. Hail the hexapus!
I bet the sea gods got angry

Haha!
You snap everything :)
Haha
Stupid sea gods can't count? Good thing I worship the pasta god.
Hex...
sounds so scary...like a witchy octopus~~ :P
But the red octopus, hahaha...really cute! :P
Cute and overpriced
Shouldn't they at least get the number of legs right if they want to charge that much?
2 things...
first, if a six-legged octopus is called a hexapus, what would you call an octopus with just 2 legs? (err.. i'm thinking, Bill O' Reily, i dont know why)
second, you should sue CNN. you discovered the first hexapus. you should name him...
Haha
O'Reily does look like an octopus :-D
If I were to name the six-legged octopus, I would have called it Satan's Octopus.
Actually I believe it's a
Actually I believe it's a misnomer rather than an oxymoron.
I don't see why
it can't be both a misnomer and an oxymoron. But can we at least agree that it's sushi? :-P
how about..
a hyperbole?
How about
Alanis Morissette irony?
Random?
Meredith Brooks. Remember her?
Who? Nope
Carnifex posts a Wikipedia link in 5, 4, 3....
Since I don't remember her myself...
...no, no Wikipedia link this time. I post links only when I know the answer but I am too pissed off to provide people with explanation (which happens rather often last couple of months).
