Keep your comments succinct. Any comment that runs longer than 100 words is generally too long.
If you're commenting more than three times a day, it's too much.
Civility is enforced. Spelling/grammar mistakes may be pointed out ONLY in the blog post itself, not in any of the ensuing commenter's contributions.
If your comment doesn't show up, it's most likely that Blogger ate it. Try posting again using a GoogleID. (comment moderation is on only for older posts)
That's amazing!
ReplyDeleteI once heard a story of a octopus climbing out of his tank and using a bunch of tanks between his and the one he wanted to be in as stepping stones.
The owners couldn't figure out how he kept getting moved.
I love that at some point, an electrician had these instructions: "You need to move the light above the tank higher... the octopus keeps shooting it out."
ReplyDeleteHe just wants to get back to the big ole blue.
ReplyDelete*shark bait, ooh ha-ha*
Is it my imagination or does your assistant's expression change every time I see it?
ReplyDeleteOMG verification word: flednose. Hmmm...
The octopus is far more intelligent than most people give them credit for. I think I read in some biology textbook that their brains never stop growing, or learning.
ReplyDeleteAn average sized octopus can easily pass the same sort of problem solving intelligence tests that grey parrots do so well in, and large specimens are in a class of their own.
Strange creature acts. Here, we had a thief stealing all the coins from the coin changer of a car wash. It baffled police for weeks. They finally installed a video cam and caught the perpetrator--a crow; the bird was breaking into the coin box each night and carrying off the (shinys) for nesting.
ReplyDeleteI saw a documentary where an octopus unscrewed the lid off a glass jar to get at the treat inside.
