Otto the Octopus has my vote. :)

Oh, how completely wonderful! Go, Otto!

And here I was thinking that the reason would be something along the lines of octopus' belly button texture quality. Go Otto!

Poor Otto, he must be frustrated that he can't get to the light now!

Is squid still okay to eat?

[truepenny.livejournal.com]

My understanding is that squid are stupid. Also tasty, she said carnivorously.

Ugh.

Also, your post topic, where is it from? I've beyond googled it and can't find it anywhere, and I KNOW that I know it from somewhere.

[truepenny.livejournal.com]

Honestly, I don't know the origin, nor what the original phrase was.

Ta-dah! Google and the Language Log to the rescue (http://itre.cis.upenn.edu/~myl/languagelog/archives/000399.html)!

Excellent!

Did you see the Google Earth picture with a giant earwig over Germany?

[mamculuna.livejournal.com]

Wonder why they don't eat me?

[lsaboe.livejournal.com]

any of the "keepers" figure it might be nicer/smarter to turn the light out to give poot otto some darkness so he can sleep?
and yeah, we don't eat any cephalopods because they are just too smart to eat. same with pigs.
my menu is limited by IQ and squeal factors.

This is also why I do not eat octopus. I would really love to see video of Otto juggling the hermit crabs. (!)

Yay for someone who knows the proper plural of octopus! Though for sheer fun, platypodes win.

Whoa, cool.

I should put money on this dude :]
