Gold octopus-shaped ornaments from Bronze Age Mycenae, Grave IV, Grave Circle A.
The curled tips of the arms create eyelets for stitching the ornaments onto a garment or shroud some 3,500 years ago.

My cousin hipped us to going to different movies at the same time in the theatre. Then having dinner together later. Saves us both from sitting through a movie the other hates and interesting discussion afterwards.
My wife and I drove separate cars to the Christmas party. I spent two hours being social, roughly my limit, and then I came home and relaxed and played games, and she spent about another 2.5 with her friends. We were both happy.
