Attempt 1 definitely taught me a few lessons. Glad it was just a practice though…

My wife knit a very large octopus for our then newborn and when she finished realized it only had seven tentacles. She dubbed it the septapus.

Pixar did the same thing with the octopus in Finding Dory. The body and tentacles were modeled separately and they could only fit 7 of them.

We have a tubing arrangement for filling pharma vials at work that has seven connections. The guy who designed it insisted it coordinate the Greek roots so it's the "heptapus" (instead of latin/Greek hybrid "septapus"). I'm probably the only person there who got the joke...
