Viv, have you forgotten how to quote?

[Console]

There are no "puses" in Latin.. you go from us to i. = octupi.

You do know that we speak English in the country, and not Latin, right?

[Vivienne]

But to be correct, a person must follow a different language.

[Yudster]

No.

[foot-loose]

From this day forth, more than one octopus shall be known as several "octopee".


Job done.

[Vivienne]

Actually, I think in some cases the pluralisation of -us goes to -i and sometimes it stays as -us. It depends on the word.

You are indeed correct young lady! I studied Latin for 4 years, but don't know what on Earth I am talking about (sarcasm!)

[Yudster]

So it would seem.

[Vivienne]

Well, whatever you seem to see is wrong.

[Boboff]

Excellent, well done Console for staying out of that ! Must have taken determination and true grit !

Anyway Viv, personally I don't give a monkuss

[Andy B]

I could be an octupus.

How?

[Vivienne]

Because I have hands that can go everywhere. Simple.

[MK Chris]

I thought it was because you're quite intelligent relative to the animal world, but not particularly compared to your average human.

Don't be harsh on yourself, Viv.

[Yudster]

Octopuses don't have hands.

[foot-loose]

Octopuses don't have hands.

... Octopee!

[Ballbag]

Octopodes.

[foot-loose]

No. Thats what eight Gaspodes are called.

[Yudster]

Eight Gaspodes? One was enough. None is better. I think. Maybe. Or not.

[Andy B]

Didn't we settle on Octopee anyway? I'd like to see some sort of evidence (Prefereably video evidence) to prove that Viv's hands can indeed go everywhere. That'd settle it.

Absolutly correct Mr President. I decreed that a collection of more that one octopus would be called an octopee. And from this day forth, groups of octopee are called "herds" of octopee.

[Sunny So Cal]

I'm going to go MI6 and say Octopussy

[Andy B]

Paddy says to Mick (under the new regieme all Irish jokes are now considered non-offensive) "I hear that the actress who played Pussy Galore has split her fanny open!"

Mick replies "Honor Blackman?"

Paddy says "No. On a dildo!"

Thankyou and goodnight.

[S4B]

8 appendages? I thought they were tentacles or arms to be honest but what do I know?

[Console]

I think octopuses have 'arms'.

[timp]

I do Latin and I was taught that because our language derives from Latin, therefore Octopi is more correct than Octopuses (although acceptable nowadays). But I may be wrong..

[S4B]

We established it was octopi I thought! Now we're concerned about the name given to their appendages of which they have 8!
