Nerdy Joke

Here is a nerdy joke I made up:
There was a couple. One spouse was a genius mathematician and the other spouse was a genius linguist. As the maxim goes, "Great minds think alike." They both thought of proposing to each other in front of a zoo at the "Octopus Sector." Why?
Friends of the linguist (who were also linguists) were discussing suffixes for plural words. The term octopus has many accepted plural forms, such as "octopodes" and "octopuses."

"It should be octopi!" the linguist insisted to the friends.

"Hapalochlaena does have circular rings!" the mathematician remarked.

I wish I did this earlier, while it was still pi day, but better late than never! XD
