Cephalopodcast - The Ocean Podcast

[via TONMO]

Returning from the depths, it’s Octopia. No word on whether they will allow Teuthida or Nautilida to sneak in.

Welcome to Octopia, the site that aims to provide you with amusing information, art, anecdotes, and general flotsam and jetsam related to cephalopods of the order Octopoda.

And from their about page, this fun bit of trivia:

After a little bit of searching (but don’t worry, I didn’t stay up all night working on this), I’ve found some glosses for ‘octopus’. Hope you find these helpful:
French = either pieuvre or poulpe
Spanish = pulpo
German = Tintenfisch
Czech = chobotnice (pronounced KHO-boat-neats-eh)
Slovene = hobotnica
Classical Greek = polypous (paw-LOOP-oos)
Japanese = tako; yudedako (boiled octopus…yum!)
Finnish = meritursas, tursas; mustekala (also means “cuttlefish”, “squid!”)
Hungarian = polip
Swahili = pweza mkubwa
