Jakesshop Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 I ran across this picture on FB today and had to laugh for the forge was just like mine and I almost felt the way "Otto the domesticated cephalopod" is going this past weekend doing a demo at a local Ren faire. I met the artist earlier this year at a Steampunk convention in San Diego and really took a liking to him. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX My forge for comparison. From this weekend at the Hanford Renaissance of Kings in CA. Off site advert removed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

windancer Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 I would settle for just ONE more hand. More than that would probably make it easier to hurt myself. The cartoon made me laugh out loud. Just came in from a full day at the forge and I was glad for the laugh. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigfootnampa Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Interestingly enough they have recently discovered that octopi have a brain in each tentacle! I think of them as sort of sub-main brains, like a sub-main electrical box. Anyhow that solves the problem of directing so many appendages pretty neatly!

Interestingly enough they have recently discovered that octopi have a brain in each tentacle! I think of them as sort of sub-main brains, like a sub-main electrical box. Anyhow that solves the problem of directing so many appendages pretty neatly! No central brain to coordinate? What if 2 arms go for the same prey?
