The standard English plural of octopus is octopuses. However, the word octopus comes from Greek, and the Greek plural form is octopodes (Modern usage of octopodes is so infrequent that many people mistakenly create the erroneous plural form octopi, formed according to rules for Latin plurals.)

I don't know what kind of work that job is, but if it's decent hang on to it as long as you can. Those types of bosses are *very* few and far between.

Native Americans and ancient Assyrians used back quivers, but almost everyone else used belt quivers (or ground quivers/stuck directly into the ground if they were stationary). And I agree, back quivers are absolutely impractical.

A lot of that has to do with your age and how well they take care of themselves. If I was in my 60’s I would definitely find Patrick Stewart attractive and he's 78. Hell, Robert Downey Jr is 53 and Keanu Reeves is 54 (I'm 30) and I'd jump on that in a heartbeat. (If I wasn't married) Also, a 22 year old could have a father quite a bit younger than that. 40 if they had the kid at 18.

If he cares so much about the money he pays to be there, then why the fuck is he on his phone?

This is actually a legit way to fire a gun. It's mostly used if you have on bulky clothing/armor (as the girl in the picture) or if you're in close quarters.

I'm sorry, that's a really bad idea. That can actually make things worse.

Also, no vaccine (or anything else for that matter) is 100% effective. We can get close, but there will always be that small % of the population that it just doesn't work for.

Luckily, you can get one...sort of. The Savannah cat is a cross between a Serval and domestic cat. If you get a F1 (first generation) they look almost exactly like a real Serval, and only slightly smaller. However, they are extremely expensive. Male kittens are usually about $12K to $16K and females go for $15k to $20K.

Most zombie apocalypse scenarios are caused by a pathogen infecting the living or recently dead, not the dead and buried. It'd be difficult for the pathogen to get through 6 feet of dirt and into the coffin. (not impossible, but unlikely) And even if it does infect a buried corpse, it's extremely difficult to get out of a coffin and to the surface.
