Octopi

    Octopi are the trendy new animals you'll see emblazoned on totebags and t-shirts.

    Maybe it all started when Alex and Chloe came out with their octopus necklace, or maybe we're just deathly sick of all the owl, antler, and bird motifs. Either way, this is a good opportunity to point out that octopi are actually smarter than most of us.
