I laughed. I laughed in his face for quite a while. It got a little embarrassing. Embarrassing for him anyway). Are you in work today? Will you be able to access your emails if I send you one?

Are you in work today? Will you be able to access your emails if I send you one?

Who has enough time and/or money to sit around inventing stuff like that? And why aren't they putting it to better use? We've just recently started watching The Gadget Show (due to the dearth of TV entertainment on a Monday night) and get completely suckered by the competition almost every week but we've entered 3 times now and still haven't won. I think it's a fix. Those robots thingys are kind of cool, but you’ve got to ask, “Why?” Who has enough time and/or money to sit around inventing stuff like that?

He worked five years or so for that, so it'd be a shame to lose it. He was probably just so relieved that even though he was killing people, everyone still called him by the title “Dr”.

Going to get his name officially changed probably wasn't top of his list when he got all those legs. Good point.

So I believe both of you are correct as is Pete as is Jonny. And so am I. Ha ha.

He is called Dr Octavius when he is a real, normal doctor (not a medical one). When he gets attatched the the machine that menas he has 8 limb the papers call him Dr.Octapus-a very clever tabloid pun. I think that is correct, but I could be wrong. Its kind of both I belive.
