On occasion they will eat hazardous things. As I recall from my days doing child abuse cases, it can be caused by traumatic events, particularly in childhood such as abuse and neglect. 1 2 2 Quote

I added an electrical circuit to the house today, and had a hell of a time being close enough to see what I was doing and being far enough away to have clear focus. Eyes no longer adjusting focus for distance, so cataracts may as well get fixed this spring. Anyway, installed the circuit and now a leg hurts (probably sciatica) from contorting myself to position for the work, and have bruising on the back of both hands from bumping into things. In better news, I have started mocking up my reloading setup. 4 Quote

"Octopi" is also sometimes (incorrectly) used, but "octopuses" is the preferred and more correct plural. "Octopi" is used because people assume it's formed like Latin loan words, like "fungus/fungi". However, "Octopus" is derived from the ancient Greek oktōpous, a compound form of oktō, 'eight' and pous, 'foot.' Y'all are quite welcome! (And I do like that pie!)

Alpo Posted January 19 Posted January 19 (edited) You beat me to it. The Latin professor walked into the bar and told the bartender that he wanted a martinus. The bartender says, "You mean martini?" The professor says, "If I wanted two, I would have asked for two". Edited January 19 by Alpo 1 3 Quote
