 (0 comments) | CostumeThe octopus with the best Halloween costumeNanapod aka "Perky" has spent a lot of time recently getting to know the birds of prey in the neighborhood- their ability to fly, talons and beaks will likely be helpful to the octopodes in any of our future plans. One of her Osprey cronies has taught her some new techniques for home building and disguise- which at this time we will call a costume.

 (0 comments) | GoodOctopodes being Good, use their powers only for good and never for evil. Demonstrate your octopus using their powers for Good, to Oppose Evil.Perky using her MIND CONTROL POWERS to get someone to work on an oyster float containing a thousand oysters being grown to clean the water of the Chesapeake Bay. One 3-inch oyster can filter about 50 gallons of water a day. Thus Perky's 1000 oyster friends are filtering 50000 gallons of water a day. Perky has supervised the members of the Coastal Conservation Association as they have placed 200 oyster spat into sacks and placed 5 sacks into each float. Perky drives her boat over to check the floats each day to make certain crabs do not get in and eat the oysters. She now has to check 31 floats on St Thomas creek- that is 31000 oysters which when full grown will be filtering 1,550,000 gallons of water.
