I'm maybe close to this, but there are other things too.

 

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.

But...!  

 

The plural of "octopus" is actually "octopuses."  

 

"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!)

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".

Okay, I shouldn't read when I'm dog tired ...
... I looked at the illustration and thought "The plural of Cthulhu?"

Why does this remind me of the recent election?

I understand the (first) reaction this post got. It reminded me of a story from WW2.

 

Young French women would cozy up to German soldiers in bars or coffee shops and then detonate.

That looks like the door to a 1973 Olds Custom Cruiser. We had one and that's exactly what the door on the driver's side looked like, same color, same fake wood trim, same everything.

It's like showing a kid you have 11 fingers,

 

Hold all 10 out and fold down the fingers on one hand 10, 9, 8,7 ,6 and hold up the other hand. AND 5 more equals 11!

Or count them all off one by one, but say the number 8 after each count.

 

1 8, 2 8, 3 8, 4 8, 5 8, 6 8, 7 8, 9 8, 10 8, 11 8...
