Octopuses - our friends in the ocean

[emoBill™]

Octopodes (take THAT) are pretty dang neat, except for the fact that they can crush you and kill you, leaving you to die on the ocean floor, with one "hug".

Starfish are better. Only weird people don't like them.

Octopuses are weird and creep Fuko out. Like Okazaki. He's weird.

Much like hippopotami, [insert plural of octopus here] are not cute. They are not cuddly.
They will rip you apart.

Or so I've heard.

I don't really think about it a lot but I guess yeah I like them. As long as they don't hurt me:)

 

[Dukey]

Umm, yeah.
Ages back when I was a lot younger, I was fishing with my dad, and there was an octopus crawling around the rocks.
It grabbed onto my hook, and sat there for about 15 minutes with it in it's tentacles, it wasn't looking like it was gonna let go, but then all of a sudden, it shot back the hook, which got caught in my shirt about 5cm from my face.
So no I don't like octopus' much xD

Despite having the weirdest and scariest dream about one i still think they're cool. XD

I LMAO when I read that part about the hugs. :D

I think the octopus is smart, maybe more so than we realize. Since it has so many arms too, it could most likely learn to use tools in a very useful way. It will probably end up being the next dominant organism on Earth when humans die off, unless us humans mess up the ocean too eventually.

Octopuses are awesome! They have really advanced brains etc. and are just all around good-looking.

At my local aquarium (to my knowledge, the world's only submarium) there is an octopus. Once, me and my mother spent about fifteen minutes trying to see it, only to realise it was squelched in at the top corner, against the glass (as some of the coral was) and we just hadn't noticed, because it looked like the coral!

Another time, I just sat and watched it, and it reached out to me and touched the glass. Ahh! Not like the time a leopard ray came up the side of the glass from underneath and scared the life out of me... hahahaha.

Camouflage octopi are awesome.
They don't give good hugs, I know, my grandfather used to breed them. We had one named Bruce that loved to open peanut butter jar tops.

 

[Heart~Bunny]

I like them their neat. I think it would hurt to hug them though.

They're the most intelligent invertebrate, which their complex brain and stimuli. That's why I love 'em. Second, I love them because one of my favorite sea-foods is the North Atlantic Giant Octupus. Yum, yum, yum.

I draw your attention to this: http://theoatmeal.com/story/octopus
"This is why an octopus is better than your mom."

25.13272 = Octopi. Tell me when you understand.

I understood that as soon as I saw the numbers. And I laughed. Does that make me a nerd?

Octupuses are pretty awesome. It's really cool how intelligent they are. I'm a little bit frightened by their appearance, though. I think it's a combination of the suction cups and how, er, squishy they look. I don't know if I'd necessarily want a hug from them.

But I applaud them for being smart. They are better looking than squids, at least.
