Octopuses (yes that is fine, grammar nazis, check OED), have got to be the coolest fucking things alive. Their wicked smart – almost as smart as dolphins and chimps – and yet they can squeeze themselves through tiny cracks. At one point in Monteray, a few decades ago, the octopuses started to sneak out of their tanks at night, when no one was watching, into the other tanks, and eating all the exhibits. It took them months to figure it out. We can only thank the lord above or Richard Dawkins that they don’t have a taste for human flesh.
