You're supposed to laugh at least once a day. A health thing, I suppose, I remember reading somewhere that crying is laundering the soul, laughing is dry cleaning it.
Are you also supposed to learn something each day? 'Cause I just did:
The plural of octopus isn't octopi. (Oh, the times I have erred.) The reason is because the word octopus is Greek, and the plural i is Latin. And the two aren't supposed to mix, I guess? Anyway, the correct plural is apparently octopodes. Fact learned.

I remember reading that about the plural of octopus, too. But I didn't remember the correct plural. Thanks!
