I watched a video recently about octopuses (or octopi if you
prefer.) It appears they’re highly intelligent creatures, having nine brains
(one in their head and one in each arm), and no friends. (I also saw a note
which said they have three hearts, but I didn’t watch the video so I can’t
attest to the fact.) Apparently they’re one of the world’s best at solving mechanical
and other practical problems. Having made this startling discovery I wanted to
put a picture of an octopus next to a picture of Donald Trump on he blog and
ask ‘Which do you think is the Republican?’ Only Google won’t let me without forcing
me to cross a red line.

And on the subject of intelligence, there’s a video which YouTube keeps offering among my recommendations and which reads:
If You Can Identify These 14 US States It Proves You Have an IQ Above 140
I’ve said before on this blog that having a high IQ is a limited way of assessing a person’s worth. Let me also add that being able to identify 14 US states correctly has absolutely nothing to do with IQ. That’s YouTube.
