"Use me to wash your hands until I become a skeleton!"

A gift company called Initial Ideas is selling soap in the shape of octopuses and crabs that wear down to skeletons.

I was amused. :)

Dumb question... goldengrove October 11 2006, 01:04:13 UTC

...do octopuses actually have skeletons?

(Obviously, realism in novelty soap is a pressing issue in our modern world.) (:

*L* It's nice to see that you care about the important issues. ;)

I wondered that too, figured the answer was "no", but then realised I didn't actually know what they used instead. Here I thought I was going to be able to avoid that one. ;) Let's see... I know they can push themselves through any holes that are large enough to fit their beaks...*checks*...

Yep, no bones, shell, or anything hard in the "Incirrata" subgroup, which makes up the majority of octopuses. The "Cirrata" subgroup have a small, internal shell and two fins on their head.

So there you go... :)

I'm with you though: We need to lobby parliament and demand accurate representation of biology in advertising and manufacturing, otherwise it'll erode education standards and public literacy on a global scale and may bring about a collapse of science and technology as we know it! ;)

Does that mean that the crab wears down from the INSIDE?

*L* That could be awkward. :)
