Opposable thumbs

BallFiend has done important research today and has established that the Octonauts could in fact play mini golf, on account of them having opposable thumbs but could not hold a marble between their fingers, on account of all their fingers being joined into one.

The back story: BallFiend decided this morning that the Octonauts are coming to visit us today, but when they hadn't arrived by 10 am, he went out to check the letterbox as he had decided they must have sent him a letter. By lunchtime, he had decided the Octonauts will be coming to his birthday party (which will be a mini-golf party), but when I questioned their ability to hold a mini golf club, he got out the Octonauts DVD to check their picture.

I also found out that Captain Barnacles is his favourite Octonaut because 'he is in charge'. Make of that what you will.
