Are people aware that today is International Cephalopod Awareness Day?
Can I celebrate with some calamari?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Can I celebrate with some calamari?
Depends. Do you promise to be aware of it? Because it's hardly celebrating otherwise...

Depends on whether the cephalopod is supposed to be aware or if you're supposed to be aware of it.

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

P.Z. Meyers says that if you do, you'll get no scantily-clad women.....
Somebody has found their way to the inner sanctum of the cephalopod lords, and returned with pictures. Yes, it's true: cephalopod worship, for some reason, involves scantily clad women.
Wait a minute…eating cephalopods? No scantily clad ladies for you, Rick.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
There's a national institute for play.
Which I found by tracking down this instance of wild and domesticated animals playing.

How is "play" defined? Activity that is not immediately beneficial to the creature doing the action? One that's not related to food/shelter/survival?
