When did it become acceptable to say octopuses and not octopi? I blame the same people that said Pluto's not a planet. Only someone that sociopathic can do something so dastardly.

Can I be super-pedantic here for a moment? Octopus itself is a latinized form of a greek word, and therefore already messed up. The real plural of the word should be octopodes (well actually, oktopodes).

Daenarys Stormborn, the mother of odd green things.

I remember someone from a movie, I want to say a Star Wars talking about how odd it was to be acting with a tennis ball on a stick. It was a CGI character, and the ball was supposed to by eye level for the creature. If you ever watch behind the scenes stuff you'll see actors interacting with green or blue objects, people, and set pieces.

Only if you have the cape...other wise no

When this started I said you can NOT plan for weather in the South. And no humidity in October? I may be laughing at that until October.

And I just love the thumbnail. That look is precious.

Okay, that genuinely made me giggle.

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Well, how would you ever confuse a bird for a plane? Unless the plane was like, really far away, and also moving like a bird. I guess you could confuse a swooping hawk for a diving plane, but only very briefly (because which ever it was would get close real fast).

Speaking of crazy weather...

When I was a kid living in Tacoma, Washington, we had a day with sun, fog, rain, snow, and back to sun again. Still one of the weirdest days I’ve ever experienced.

A young lady in Hawaii whom I know from another board posted this:

Not to compare our weather in Hawaii with -50, but did have some crazy weather. 191 mph wind gusts at the top Mauna Kea on the big island, snow on Maui and 60 ft surf on the North Shore of Oahu.

I swear to this day, about 18 years ago I saw snow falling in May. I was in the car with my parents and sister. I called my grandmother to tell her about it. My dad and grandmother have both passed but my mom and sister don't remember it. It was just a quick flurry then done, just that it was May that made it odd.

I was a little put off the acting at first, but then I couldn't stop watching. They did an excellent job. According to the channel there are 11 episodes.
