ARMS AND THE WOMAN

Nadya Suleman, aka “The Octomom,” made a personal appearance here in Phoenix a couple of days ago. I hasten to note that I knew of this event only because I saw the billboards around town; I didn’t go, and I didn’t care to help publicize it. But now that it’s over I suppose I’m not above using it as a hook upon which to hang…

Monster-of-the-Week: …this week’s two-time honoree, the handsome title character in the 1971 low-budgeter Octaman...

The suit, an early effort by the great Rick Baker, is the best thing about this excruciating dull movie (sadly, it was the final film of the beautiful Pier Angeli), but if you have time to squander, you can watch Octaman in its entirety, here.

Hey, here’s a quiz question for you: How many tentacles does an octopus have?

Prepare to have your mind blown—an octopus has ZERO tentacles! It has eight arms.
