My Notes October 2026 Week 1

Huis Ten Bosch Theme Park has the world’s first floating capsule hotel.

It will be towed from the theme park to a nearby uninhabited island.

The hotel pod will depart in the evening and arrive at the island in time for breakfast.

The capsule measures 6.4 m in diameter and has two levels.

The capsule can carry nine passengers but was designed for two to four guests.

October 8 is World Octopus Day.
There are about 300 species of octopuses.

The largest recorded Pacific octopus weighed 272 kg with arms that were 9 m in length.

Male octopuses die shortly after mating.

Females lay between 10,000 and 70,000 eggs and protect the eggs for about six months.

The lifespan of octopuses is between six months for small ones and five years for large ones.

“To quibble” means “to argue about something unimportant.”

They were quibbling about who would sit in the front seat.

“It’s been a minute” means “it has been a long time.”

It’s been a minute since I’ve seen my grandkids.
