Both are historians, and his brother knows Latin. <br /><br />They would have told you it was octopoid (and then possibly giggled uncontrollably). <br /><br />I rescue lizards from my house a lot. Once I rescued a sugar glider from a cat and took it to wires. It was such a sweet little thing and wouldn't let go of my fingers. The wires people didn't seem to believe me when I said it wasmy cat. But she took one look at it and ran away.
