Octopuses are very smart. They are easily bored and require diversion. So at one aquarium they hit upon a solution - give the octopus a Mr. Potato Head filled with smelt.
The article is worth it just for the picture....

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm sad I missed the signing itself, and therefore much time with the attendees thereof. But the post dealio was cool too.

I'm waiting for the FedEx man to get here. That guarantees that, unlike a day when I'm sleeping in, when he arrives at 9AM on the dot, he won't be here until like, 2pm. Because I wanted to hang out with a friend and do lunch, today. Harumph.

KATHMANDU (Reuters) - Officials at Nepal's state-run airline have sacrificed two goats to appease Akash Bhairab, the Hindu sky god, following technical problems with one of its Boeing 757 aircraft, the carrier said Tuesday.
Nepal Airlines, which has two Boeing aircraft, has had to suspend some services in recent weeks due the problem.
The goats were sacrificed in front of the troublesome aircraft Sunday at Nepal's only international airport in Kathmandu in accordance with Hindu traditions, an official said.
"The snag in the plane has now been fixed and the aircraft has resumed its flights," said Raju K.C., a senior airline official, without explaining what the problem had been.

I think its plain that the problem was a pissed off sky god.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Octopuses are my favorite invertebrates!
The animal sacrifice story, on the other hand, has about a 50% chance of being untrue.

It does seem funny that we still use the abbreviation for carbon copy, though, huh?
Good work news this morning, and stupid staff "outing" this afternoon, so I'm feeling pretty good.
