Freaky freaky freaky

Octopi scare the crap out of me. They can perform complex tasks, solve problems, and draw connections (like squirting out a lightbulb in its tank at night because its lonely and wants the company when the handyman comes to fix it).

And now they can gamble...

These things scare the crap out of me

And not because I have a gut reaction to invertebrates (although I do). Octopi scare me because they're apparently very smart, and have a twisted sense of humor... which somehow equates them to "demons" of some sort in my mind...

First, there was Otto, who got bored at his aquarium in Germany and decided to climb out of his aquarium enough to short circuit the lights and require someone to come in the room to fix it for him.

Now, apparently an octopus in California flooded her aquarium by opening a valve.

Smart and sneaky, these things can open bottles and kill a shark!

I think they caused the financial meltdown, personally.
