As for the front page on octopustruth.com... well, the author clearly misidentifies the curiosity and dexterity of the octopus as being "all evil". Octopusususeses are very smart and quite the escape artists when kept in an aquarium. I remember reading one report where someone had a saltwater aquarium with an octopus and a freshwater aquarium full of fish... only he noticed over time the number of fish would decrease. He couldn't believe the octopus could be leaving its aquarium and walking across a room to climb to the other aquarium and help itself... but then he came home one day from work to see a long water trail and see one of eight arms reaching up to close the aquarium lid.
Some people call this "evil". I call this a low-maintenance pet... :^)
Donnaka: you're awesome (smile).
