1. What a completely absorbing two minutes

Right now it's easy to slip into feeling disconnected. So learning about his experience of getting connected comes at the right time. Thanks...

2. I LOVE octopi...

I think they are some of the most interesting and intelligent creatures on earth.

3. I watched in a couple of nights ago

I loved it. The relationship they established was gorgeous. The communication, acknowledgement, loss.

It reminded me of a book I had just finished "The Overstory" by Richard Powers which is about the relationship between living things above ground, i.e. trees, flowers, bees, humans, etc. Everyone and everything is communicating just as they are in the understory, or underwater world.

6. Wow! I'll never eat octopus again!

What amazing creatures!

[Maraya1969]

7. I never will either! Although I don't know if I ever have. I love Octopi!

8. In restaurants it's called Calamari

Maybe to disguise it. And the plural is octopuses. Not to be nitpicky.

9. Really? I like octopuses better than octopi but I thought I was just being

spellingly correct.

I think sometimes Calamari is squid at least around here. That's what a waiter told me recently.

11. The general rule is if it's a Latin based word...

you put "i" on the end to pluralize it. But since it's a Greek word, "es" is the plural. That's what I've always heard.

10. In case anyone has not seen this adorable video of an octopus that steals a man's camera

Here it is! (This video is what got me interested and loving Octopuses!)

12. What a beautiful film!

Thanks for the rec
