Aristotle did not think much of the octopus.

Orion Magazine keeping it real:
A note on grammar:
Octopuses, not octopi, is now considered the correct plural among the octopus intelligentsia. Octopi has been discarded as the plural because of its Latin ending on a Greek word. The correct plural for applepus, however, is still apple pie.
I want an applepus, please.
Guess which of these two is the monster.

By the by, those octos in the featured image of Octopus Wrestling 2: The Revenge were actually part of @Larry‘s birthday dinner. I trimmed it down, stuck it into Snapseed, and filtered it until it looked like the photo was taken in murky, grainy seawater. I must have done well, because when I showed my mom, she shuddered and recoiled.
My skills are still on point.
