🤣 Friday Funny: I hope you don’t do this Edition
🪼Please don’t pee on your friends! 🪼
Reasons why urinating on a jellyfish sting is not effective:
* Lack of neutralizing agents: Urine does not contain enough ammonia or other substances to neutralize the venom released by jellyfish stings.
* Increased irritation: The acidity and other components of urine can irritate the skin and worsen the pain.
* Spread of venom: Urinating on a sting can spread the venom to other areas of the skin.
* Risk of infection: Urine is not a sterile substance and can introduce bacteria into the wound, increasing the risk of infection.
Recommended treatment for jellyfish stings:
* Rinse the area with hot water (if available) or salt water.
* Remove any visible tentacles with tweezers or a credit card.
* Apply a paste of baking soda and water to the affected area.
* Seek medical attention if the sting is severe, causes allergic reactions, or does not improve with home treatment.
This has been a PSA from your friends at DIVE BVI. Enjoy your weekend!

🐙 It’s World Octopus Day! 8 cheers for our friends! 🐙
* What is World Octopus Day?: World Octopus Day is a celebration of one of the most distinctive marine creatures on the planet — the octopus.
* World Octopus Day is celebrated on the 8th of October every year. It was first observed in 2014 but has been an annual event ever since.
* The World Octopus Day celebration draws attention to the beauty, intelligence, and sentience of these wonderful marine creatures. But it’s also a chance to highlight the threats octopuses face — including cruel octopus farming and marine pollution — along with octopus conservation initiatives.
7 facts about octopuses:
1. Around 300 species of octopus and octopuses can be found in every ocean on Earth.
2. The biggest octopus in the world is the giant Pacific octopus, which can grow to 5.4 meters in length, with an arm span of almost 9 meters.
3. Octopuses can change the color of their skin in a fraction of a second. They do this to camouflage and hide from predators, to trick their prey, and to communicate with one another.
4. Octopuses and squid are both cephalopods. But while octopuses have eight arms, squid have eight arms and two tentacles.
5. Factory-farmed octopuses are kept in unnatural, cramped confinement. They are sometimes killed by submersion in freezing water, which has been known to cause a cruel, slow, and painful death. Protecting octopuses from conditions like these is one of our missions, here at World Animal Protection.
6. Octopuses don’t make good pets. They require huge tanks, exceptional water quality, and live prey — and because octopuses are so intelligent, they easily become bored and distressed in captivity.
7. Octopuses are highly intelligent and sentient. They can solve puzzles, use tools, learn from experience, and exhibit signs of stress and fear.
Threats to octopuses:
While octopuses are not considered endangered, they face a number of threats in the wild.
So let’s celebrate these amazingly beautiful and intelligent creatures today and every day of the year!

Here’s a behind the scenes shot of the cast of Jaws between takes out on Martha’s Vineyard. Bruce the Shark used a stunt double for some of the scarier scenes as he said, “I’m a vegetarian and don’t want to eat that Alex Kitner kid.”
