Wow. (Yes, thanks). Necessity is the mother of invention. Douglas Adams talks about an imaginary alien species that has lots and lots of arms:

The Jatravartids, who live in perpetual fear of the time they call "The Coming of The Great White Handkerchief", are small blue creatures with more than fifty arms each. They are unique in being the only race in history to have invented the aerosol deodorant before the wheel.
