Don't trust an octopus. Ever. You heard it from me first.

They have so many arms, it's practically impossible to see when they cross their fingers behind their back!

Hey. Don't insult the many-armed. The problem is they only have a pitiful 8 instead of a respectable 10.

What kind of sad existence would a being with a measly 10 arms be able to lead? 12, and not fewer, as the gods intended!

What a sad, miserable existence armed creatures must live. I just use one of my many eyestalks to do anything an arm could do and more.
