Octopus

Today I made 4 slices up most of the length of the hot dogs before putting them in the marinade. Then I sliced each of the 4 slices in half vertically so that I created a hot dog octopus. Octopus. Octopus. What a strange word.

The octopus is a cephalopod and may be as smart as most dogs. It has 8 tentacles and a nasty beak that it uses to consume lesser creatures. Some octopuses are poisonous, but hot dog octopuses are not. Hot dog octopus tastes good with the hot dog marinade mixture.

As a bipedal being with only 4 limbs I have been spending my time imagining my life as a unipedal creature. Standing on one foot. First the left foot. Then the right foot. Which is a better foot to use as the only foot? It is clearly the left foot, because when looking into a mirror, the right foot is the left foot and that is just wrong. You see, only mirrors show the true appearance of things. The right is actually the left and the left is actually the right and mankind has been making its spatial assessments all wrong since the beginning of time.

Delusional public. I typed that standing on one foot.

What will you do when the man in the mirror asks you to stand on the left foot?

Well hussein, I think that you've got a hell of a point. What I can do is put another mirror behind me and then look in that mirror and then I will stand on the right foot which is actually the left foot which is the right foot and so on, and the man in the mirror will have to stand on his other foot because of his true reflection in the other mirror.
