Octopus, Bemusing and American Pie

The plural form of octopus is octopuses, not octopi.

It is possible to amuse and bemuse someone at the same time, but it the terms mean very different things. When you amuse someone, you leave them entertained. When you bemuse them, you leave them puzzled.

Don MacLean's song "American Pie" was written about Buddy Holly, The Big Bopper (J. P. Richardson, Jr.) and Ritchie Valens. All three were on the same plane that crashed in 1959.
