Joke's On You, Pal!
Maybe you can record it on squideotape!
Q: What did one octopus say to the other?
A: Nothing. Octopi don't communicate via a spoken language, per se; they, like other cepalopods, use chromatophores and iridescent cells to change the pattern of their skin, and it is through this color changing pattern that an octopus can either blend into its environment as a survival skill or convey its mood. Although whether this color changing pattern is intended to be a method of communication, or is an autonomous nervous reaction, like blushing in human beings, is still unknown.

Quick! To the Bat-Cave! Oh, on second thought...
In 1962, Michael Siffre camped in an underground cave for 2 months in the absence of any natural light or indicators of time. While he maintained normal sleep / waking patterns, these periods grew longer and longer each day until he was living 48- to 50-hour days in which he was alert for 33 to 36 hours before sleeping for 12 to 15 hours. Siffre took five years to recover from the effects of his cave studies, and suffered from depression and minor panic attacks during the experience.

Daily Horoscope
There is no daily horoscope feature. We find there's little to no scientific basis in them, and therefore like to dismiss the entire thing as pure rubbish. Of course, this is why people generally avoid conversations with us at parties.
