when i was 6, my uncle showed me an alive octopus and somehow it ended up twirled its hands around my arms with all those suckers on them. i used to believe him when he said they can still stuck to me even after their dead. i had that fear from that moment on that if i eat octopus or squid, those things will stick onto my stomach. i still refuse to eat them even i am 24 yrs old now.
