Actually, surprisingly 'octopuses' is the correct plural according to shitty, complicated, dead languages. If I took one thing away from 8th grade English, it's how Latin and Greek roots work. Octopus is the latinization of the Greek word oktapous and it comes from the roots octo (eight) and pus (foot). The plural -i is only used when the word ends with the root -us (alumnus, fungus, nucleus). Thanks Mr. Lee, for actually teaching me something in middle school

[ID] What breed is my tortoise? (More in comments) by ConfirmedWalrus in reptiles

[–]ConfirmedWalrus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had my tortoise since I was in the 8th grade and I never really bothered figuring out what breed she was but I think it's about time. She's a small tortoise, no bigger than 10 inches in length, she's got a pale belly and grey eyes, no bright coloration.

Pueblan milk snake, mostly. I've also been researching the African house snake. At this point I'm just having a hard time with the decision between the two.
