brynndragonA conversation about how to kill an octopus (in the event that it has decided to wrap itself around your head and therefore more conventional means of inducing death such as a spear are not available) lead to the plural of octopus and then to the question of the term for a group of octopodes. I never managed to find the answer to that question, but we did run across some other interesting ones:
a smack of jellyfish, a business of ferrets, an intrigue of kittens (I call band name!), a carload of monkeys, a plague of locusts (geez, one time and that's what you're called forever), a fever of stingrays (apparently they need more cowbell), a mutation of thrush, a stare of owls. . . they're all here.
