    What? Oh my goodness.

    Thanks for the tip, mhdfyeuas! Don’t know where I’d be without the helpful help of the interweb helpers.

    What? It’s not called the “interweb,” you say….?

    Phil, What can I do to help save the pacific northwest tree octopus?! I happened upon one of these amazing creatures while out searching for snipes along the amazon basin. I was so shocked to see an octopus living in the branches of a tree that, upon returning to my camp, I immediately searched for tree dwelling octopi and was gratefully guided to your interweb pages! This is amazing! The world is lucky to have someone, like you, so dedicated to saving the elusive and endangered PNTO. Thanks for your service!

    tentically yours,
    geraffi

    For starters, it’s amazing that you would find a Pacific Northwest Tree octopus in the Amazon basin, which must be over 5,000 miles away from its natural habitat… the Pacific Northwest. I guess nature is always surprising us!

    I can’t really answer your question, but I think you might want to investigate the home page linked above a little more carefully; maybe you can buy a bumper sticker or car magnet, which seem to be commonly used to save whales, the unborn, motorcycles, and our troops.

    You might also enjoy the parent site, zapatopi.net, where there is much more information; for example, did you know that Belgium does not exist? I had no idea.

    Thanks for your concern (though you sound a little sarcastic — are you feeling okay?); tree-octopus huggers everywhere are, no doubt, grateful.

    (Also, just between you and me, I think that snipes might not be real.)
