Cephalopods ft. Vacuum Energy

We have three new cards today:

- The Reaper Cuttlefish has an extra two limbs compared to a normal octopus - and these are called feeding tentacles (because that doesn’t sound creepy at all, right?).

- The Coconut Octopus is one of the only types of octopus to use a tool, such as, you guessed it, a coconut shell. They use shells to hide themselves from predators, cunningly disguised as… a shell with eight tentacles. Great job guys.

- Vacuum Energy is… ah… well… you see… it’s... you know, I’m not even going to try - here’s an excerpt from the card back:

“Place two metal sheets very close together in a vacuum and you’ll notice they attract each other with a small but considerable force.

The reason is thought to be something known as zero-point energy, the lowest possible energy that a quantum mechanical system can have.

In space, a special case of zero-point energy exists throughout the Universe. This is called Vacuum Energy.”

Yeah. Exactly what I was going to say...
