So, I'm feeling stressed out today. It has been a slow process to get me to this point, but today I really feel it. So, in an effort to reverse this trend, I've decided to share some useless information with you.

Every year Amanda gets me a calendar, this year it was a Worst Case Scenario calendar. Today's worst case scenario is how to escape from a giant octopus...so listen closely.

1. Pull away quickly

2. If you do not escape, do not go limp. Octopi tire easily, so continue to put pressure on the arms by attempting to swim away.

3. Prevent the octopus's arms from wrapping around your arms.

4. Peel the suckers from your body. Give the octopus a spear, raft, surfboard or other object to latch on to. Work quickly, before the arms grab you.

5. Detach the octopus from its anchor.

6. Turn somersaults in the water to irritate the octopus.

7. Swim toward the surface.

Seeing as how it is highly unlikely that I (or anyone reading this) will ever be attacked by an octopus, I guess it is just good information to have.
