Ever seen film of two cuttlefish doing a mating dance type thing? The colours and patterns they flash through are utterly fucking mindblowing.

Never mind the Klingons, a fucking fish can build a better cloaking device than us humans?

Bastard!

You want some amazing cephalopod video clips?

amazing creatures them.

my dad, who will eat prettymuch anything, refuses to eat octopi or squid on the basis that they are possibly more intelligent than us.

Indeed. It was at the aquarium in Seattle last year. They had to do some work on the octopus tank, so moved him in with the sharks temporarily. Every morning, the staff came in to find dead sharks at the bottom of the tank and were at a loss to explain why. Eventually they set up cameras over night to solve the mystery and caught that amazing piece of footage.

he works in the aquaculture dept in stirling uni. they had a room full of tanks of fish and one tank with a squid in it. end of the day came, denny locked everything up and went home. arrived the next day to find all the fish gone and one very fat, very happy squid. it had broken out of its own tank, into every other tank in the room (there were loads) and eaten all the fish, then got back into its tank. but it had done it in such a way that it didn't look as if had left the tank, it looked like the fish had all been beamed up by aliens or something.
