How many legs does an octopus have?

Why do I get the feeling I am being tricked?  :-)

What, by sweet lill old me?

An octopus has no "legs" whatsoever.

It has four pairs of "arms."

Bet you don't know how many teeth a mosquito has?

Two, to hold that straw they drink my blood through?

Ha, she says in an entomologically dismissive sneer.

I was actually asked this question in a quiz contest and knew the answer much to the shock of everyone else because I had been a miserable failure at all the others.

Ok, I'm curious...why do we say they have 2 legs and 6 arms?

ETA: Ok, read the "lay link" provided earlier.

Who'd've thunk?

I didn't put that can there!

but otherwise they are the same and can perform the same function as the other tenticles? So is the only definition of a leg then, that it is a locomotary appendage? I mean, you can walk on your hands but it doesn't make them feet! But then what does define the difference?

Great, thanks Cindy, now I can't tell the difference between feet and hands! If I drop my coffee trying to pick it up with my toes, I am going to sue!
