Re: Octupus and Sentients

Dear BP ad other Conlangers,

          If I knew more about this, I'd probably be dangerous (as a
bore-ass, no more, so have no fear,) but hasn't there been a lot of buzz
about "pheremones" that are used to communicate various emotional and
territorial data among primates? Others? Speculate?

          Regards, Joseph Carson
