If you were an octopus...in the sense that you have eight arms, otherwise you looked mostly human (except....YOU HAVE EIGHT ARMS! AHH!) what would you do with all those arms?

Personally, I'm 16, and very...well...horny...what do you think I would do? HAHAHA! Actually it could come in handy if you're a drummer, or a typist...or play the piano...or something that requires rapid movement of the arms.

Anywho, discuss!

I'd finally be able to use my PS2 controller as something other than a tethered projectile to throw at my TV.

I really don't think that it'd help a typist. Eight hands means forty fingers. There are about sixty keys on the keyboard. You'd be overcrowded. I think I'd feel crowded with just 5 more fingers. I don't think any more fingers would help me type faster as I hardly use 9 of my 10 fingers as it is now.

Theres just so many possibilities....

I would encourage fish to fight back against the sharks in an undersea revolution.

If I were an octopus - assuming I knew I was human previously - I'd choke myself to death, because I can't even imagine living my life under the sea.

Well for starters: I would be able to drive and fiddle with the radio at the same time
I wouldn't need to put the shopping down while I fumbled for my keys
It would look really cool when I did the Macarena
I could pretend to be Kali, the Hindu goddess
Imagine if I was a DJ, like in that Sonic Animation film clip
If I was on the train and suddenly got an itch, I wouldn't need to let go of the hand rail to scratch it.
Think of the sex! :fluffle:
I would have been sooo handy when I used to work as a waitress/dish-pig
Think of the sex!
Painting my nails would be a major operation
I could wear all my rings at once
I could play piano duets all by myself (well, I could if I played the piano anyway)
Think of the sex!

I'd use eight different feet to kick eight different asses...

Wouldn't that leave you, as it were, without a leg to stand on?

But the sharks are themselves fish... which complicates the issue somewhat.
