"Not My Type" t-shirt

I love this t-shirt that says "You're Not My Type" in 13 languages

But let's face it, the places I'd wear that shirt -- on a museum trip, at a science fiction -- "my type" of folks would quickly appear, bent over and staring at my chest to read all the lines.  So it would more or less need a skirt with "If you have read this far, the above does not apply," also in 13 languages.

An octopus tentacle is slender, strong, and agile.
This is true, but consider even their thickness, as compared to other organs.

On the other hand, I know that different proteins (and thus cellular or bodily structures) are possible which make for unEarthly properties in living creatures, even using DNA, just by changing how many letters in a codon. Wood that acts like a spring. Flesh that's more like a gel. Muscles which push instead of pull.

But you're right, depending on the requirements you can get what you need from Earthly examples.
