Why An Octopus Is Better Than Your Mom - Day Two


Birth

"Mothers love to complain about child birth. We've all heard it: "I went into labor and it lasted 36 hours!" or "When I farted out my last baby it hurt like a sonofabitch." When an octopus mother gives birth, she blasts out nearly 200,000 babies and then hangs onto them within her tentacles. If food becomes low, she'll scoop them up like nachos and eat a few thousand in order to survive. I bet your mom never carried a few hundred thousand infants in her arms and ate a few when she wanted a snack, now did she?"

200,000!! That hurts just *thinking* about it!

Gives a whole new meaning to the phrase, "octo-mom," doesn't it?

Don't tell her. She will start squirting them out daily.
