The sea monster Polypus (meaning “many-footed”) was used to describe many animals, from the lobster to the centipede to the octopus. While Olaus Magnus drew a giant lobster here, his text describes an octopus, showing the true confusion about what lived in the sea.

On the Carta Marina, by Olaus Magnus (1539) Marine map and Description of the Northern Lands and of their Marvels, most carefully drawn up at Venice in the year 1539 through the generous assistance of the Most Honourable Lord Hieronymo Quirino.

what if you could put a vacuum cleaner in reverse where it throws everything out. except you put chocolate mousse inside. But then the evil lobster (who you have a history of confits with) comes up to you and is like “pay the mousse tax” and you have to explain to him that this is the seventh time and you’ve thoroughly read the town rules and there is no mention of mousse tax at all, even in the older publications from the 1800s.
