Henry the Hexapus of Blackpool
- picture here.

I actually have a picture of this little fella sitting on my desk right now. I loves him.
-
I hope it wasn't a flash photo. Cos that could be FATAL for octuposus. Which I only learned just now.
-
Doesn't that make him an insect now?
-
Does fewer tentacles mean a higher deliciousness density?
-
I loves him I sense a painting in gestation...
-
...is a couple of legs short... I'm so glad this isn't a euphemism.

The Hexapus Blues Oh, Henry the six-legged octopus, They say he had six tentacles. I saaaaaaid Henry the six-legged octopus, They say he had six tentacles. And if he only had five, Lord, They say he'd look like a pentacle. Oh, Henry the six-legged octopus, Can't take his picture with a flash. Oh, yes, Henry the six-legged octopus, Can't take his gol-darn picture with a flash. I'd tell you what would happen, But I ain't no Ogden Nash. Oh, Henry the six-legged octopus, Found him in a lobster pot. Oh Loooord, Henry the six-legged octopus, Them Welshies found him in a lobster pot. And when they got a look at him, boy, Six tentacles was all he got.
-
Shoulda named him Astérix.
