I know that my head would start hurting way before I hit 16.

I probably shouldn't have coined the word Octopus in the first
place, giving people a false impression that somehow 8 is a
magic number.  To begin with, what I inflicted on you was not
even an Octopus but a Pentapus, merge of 5 IIRC.

Also we are counting heads, not legs.  Should have said Hydra,
but I do not offhand know how many heads it has --- I've never
met one.  I know King Ghidorah has 3 heads ;-).
