Every day is something’s day. However the Great Beyond cannot resist noting that today is the unofficial International Cephalopod Awareness Day, celebrating squid, cuttlefish and the only animal I ever feel guilty about eating, the octopus. To celebrate the Cephalopodcast has a video of Vintage Octopus Wrestling and over on Pharyngula PZ Myers is getting very excited.

Octopus have eight arms, and today is the eighth, while squid have eight arms and two tentacles, and this is the tenth month. Devotees of Bruce Schneier though will be surprised that International Cephalopod Awareness Day does not fall on a Friday, by statute.
