i would safely assume that the IQ of that octopus is higher than your regular dedicated church goer.

OH?

They're called cephalopods for a reason.

Also, AWESOME lol.

Octopi are really fuggin' smart. I love 'em. I have a documentary on cuttlefish from ages ago that I still watch with wonderment.

reminds of something i saw on tv. research lab was losing fish, so they installed a camera. turns out an octopus in one tank was getting out, walking across a table, hopping in a different tank, having dinner, then walking back home

"You've got two empty 'alves of coconuts and you're living in them."
"What?"
"Where'd you get them?"
"I found them."
"What?! Found coconuts in the ocean? Coconuts are terrestrial, not aquatic."
"They could have been carried"
"What? A bass carry a coconut? Why, just to stay afloat, a bass needs to beat its fins 43 times every second. It couldn't carry a coconut"
"Maybe it was a large mouth bass"
"Oh, well maybe a large mouth bass, but not a sea bass. That's my point."
"But, large mouth bass live in fresh water."
"Oh, right."
"Suppose two sea bass.."

:awe:awesome paraphrase

Haha, wow. I love these types of videos. That's ultra interesting. I've always heard that octopus's were very smart, and the only thing that is inhibiting them from progressing further is their lifespan?

[Jeff7]

They do things which, normally, you'd only expect vertebrates to do.

Racist.

 

[yhelothar]

phylumist.

fixed?

 

[bobsmith1492]

Octopus running along ground!

 

[Jeff7]

fixed?

Yeah, probably. Little of my 7th grade biology education remains. :$

 

[Fritzo]

What would the water speed velocity of a coconut laiden octopus have to be to......


oh never mind.

 

[Gibsons]

How has this not been said?

I, for one, welcome our new cephalopod overlords.

I've been laughing about that Onion article since it was originally published. You'd win this thread if Dr. Pizza hadn't made his excellent post.

You know, I have never been religious and think it is pretty much a bunch of crap intended to control the masses......but it is people who think like yourself that probably have a lower IQ than that octopus.

Those things are obviously a lot smarter than we give'em credit for. Scary, actually. :Q
