   (Sorry, was watching Tennet’s version of Hamlet this morning.)

   There, but for the suction cups, many more appendages, beak, eyes with an entirely different origin, and boneless body, go I and you.

   It’s a trap! Those look suspiciously like the kind of pots Mediterranean fishermen use to catch octopusseseseses for the table.
