Maybe it’s not so much a question of why people are wearing an octopus on their head, but more a question of why are these octopi wandering around with people in their mouths?
Sometimes, nature? She makes no sense.

Well, the octopus are nice, intelligent, soft, agreeable to wear…
But…I don´t understand it either.

I dont understand why a person WOULDNT wear an octopus on their head.
What better way to transport your octopus to a hockey game, where you can throw it on the ice when a player scores a “hat trick”? How symbolic, you throw your hat onto the ice when a player scores a “hat trick”…

They’re clearly celebrating Cephalopodmas, which PZ has not posted about yet, oddly enough. I didn’t pick December 22nd as my wedding date to go around WITHOUT an octopus on my head, you know.
Perhaps they are:
1:Cthulhu -believers, who wants to look like Him.
2: Cthulhu -larpers, who did not get how to make it right!
3: Perhaps they are the Cthulhu himself!

Because there’s room on flickr for all kinds of perverts.
Because you just can’t get that same body, bounce and shine with cuttlefish.
For best results, I condition with sea cucumber and use a starfish body wash.

Out of nowhere, and having never seen this post or the pictures, my 8 year old came up to me this morning with a stuffed octopus on his head and said “There’s a brain-sucking flesh-eating octopus on my head…so I can’t go to church today.”
Beautiful child.

I think the proper question is why are you not wearing an octopus on your head?

It’s just too hard to get the squid to balance right.
Remember, when it comes to headgear ANY cephalopod is appropriate Squidmas wear!

‘Cause if you try wearing them for shoes, you end up crushing the little tentacles?
Dan says
So, octopi is not the plural of octopus?
What do you know? I guess you un-learn something new each and every day.
MAJeff says
It’s not as though octopus is as tasty as squid? it’s like eating rubber. A hat is a much better idea.
Hmm. Maybe I’ll go get some squid salad for dinner. They’ll put the squid in instead of octopus for me :)

Have you ever seen what Detroit Red Wing fans do with Octopus?
It will make you cry.

They aren’t wearing them. It’s just the first stage of the assimilation.

“Octopodes” is technically the plural. However, “octopuses” is what is currently accepted.
