“World Octopus Day celebrates one of the most distinctive creatures living on the planet today. Octopuses are worthy of appreciation for a number of reasons:
- Fossil records indicate they’ve been around for more than 300 million years (they pre-date dinosaurs)
- They’re highly intelligent with a brain in each arm
- Visually stunning in a variety of shapes and colors”

Today’s haiku: World Octopus Day
Three hearts and eight brains –
a diversity starr and
saltwater wonder

According to my Nepali Patro, (calendar) today is “Government Day” which according to Dr C who is of Nepali origin, it’s a day we all get together to post negative tweets, negative Facebook posts, protest etc about the Nepalese government. What a splendid idea, it should be globally celebrated!
Now, I love octopi, especially the Pulpo dishes in Spanish tapas bars.
Mention octopi to my middle aged daughter however and she immediately remembers, as a 7 yr old child, the shame of shouting out her answer of “eight” to the school group quiz question of “how many eyes has an octopus”? The tears flowed immediately 😂
