On soc.motss, there is occasionally a discussion about the proper plural form of the word "octopus". "Octopi", of course, is just NOT ON, and "octopuses" normally wins out over "octopodes" (pronounced ok-TOP-o-deez). But, in this news story, the octopus is not all it should be...and. moreover, the plural form "octopodes" is used. There is hope for journalism!
