What Do You Get When You Cross a Cow and an Octopus?

Biology grad students, make a note to yourself not to cross an octopus with a cow. As if that would ever be remotely possible. This is from a Buzzfeed list called 15 Jokes That Only Biologists Will Fully Understand. That’s not quite true; you don’t have to be a biologist to understand them, really, you just have to know some biology terms. Most are puns, but this one made me laugh out loud. Check them out and let me know if you have any better ones.

The guy waving looked like a camper/hiker to me. Notice all his gear? He was probably just waving to call attention to himself and his gear - "don't run me over". Or maybe he was just lonely. Either way you don't normally hitch a lift on a dirt bike, escpecially carrying all that gear.

The Japanese text with the YT video says this is a part of the "old national highway No. 222", near Miyakojono in Miyazaki Prefecture. (Google Translate is your friend.)

It's not surprising either. The mountains of Japan are full of old roads and trails like this. When a landslide destroys a large piece of a road, they just build a new one elsewhere.

(Don't bother looking this up on English Wikipedia, the articles about the Japanese road system are poorly written and lacking in references. BTW, did you know that all the major divided highways in Japan are toll roads? They're expensive, too.)
