i do crunches! i work out!! some of us don't build up like that!

is it way weird? do you still have lungs?

[founderinglight]

I would presume so? I haven't had any trouble breathing air, at any rate, the gills tend to close reflexively above water.

My own situation would probably qualify as 'way weird,' but that's more a function of this specific form, I think. I have learned a great deal about octopus anatomy firsthand in a way I never expected.

do you have a mouth down in your........................you kno???

[founderinglight]

Thank goodness, no.

But as it turns out, octopuses taste everything they touch.

It is alternately interesting and terrible and generally very overwhelming.

ewww. there can't be that many good things to taste down there.

The water itself is fine for the most part. It's not quite the same as mouth-tasting. Other people and things are pretty interesting, though.

did you TELL them you were tasting them????

[founderinglight]

The one I did intentionally, yes.

The other is my brother in law after an accidental collision and I am not risking my life touching that entire nest of hornets.

brother in law??????

Trust me, I was as surprised as you are.

They're rather tooth-rotting together, actually.
