Octopusses aren't crypto are they?

Ok, so it's probably not crypto, but it appears that one giant octopus has decided to go vigilante on submarines. I found this on /.

More Agressive

By egoslam on March 15, 2006 - 2:06pm

Is it just me of are octos becoming more and more agressive? I remember seeing a video a while back of an octopus attacking sharks in an aquarium. And up until then I had never heard anything like this.

Oh here's the shark attack link: Octopus Takes On Shark.

Kraken

By Scorpios on March 1, 2006 - 5:21pm

Kraken (basically a giant squid/octopus)is a creature in Cryptozoology.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kraken

On the national geographic homepage, in the video section there is very interesting footage about "red devils" a.k.a. Giant Squid that made me realize just how aggressive and strong these things could be.
I also recently saw footage online (unfortunately I didnt save the link) of an aquarium that kept finding shark carcasses in the shark tank. They set up a camera overnight and it turned out an octopus in the aquarium was eating 4-5 foot sharks... which is behaviour never before observed or documented.
After seeing some of the deep sea life that washed up from the tsunami, it makes you wonder how many species exist down that deep that have not yet been discovered. Such as the mythological Kraken that has been told to sink ships at sea.

Anything that can chomp sharks in half gets my vote.

Octopi are pretty smart, it seems.

They can solve problems, unscrew jamjars, see colours, copy behaviours, dirty-dance, recognise specific humans, communicate via chromatic variation, fit through any hole large enough to admit their incredibly sophisticated eyes (for a mollusc) and ravenous, shark-chomping beaks, and out-think the average reality-television contestant.

I, for one, welcome our cephalopod overlords, and will happily play the role of Governor Designate in the supression and culling of the (soon-to-be) enslaved members of the ape-descended, land-dwelling inhabitants of the planet, and insure that half the GDP of the world is re-directed to the genetic engineering of an eight-legged human clone, based upon the DNA of the longest-legged fashion models available (to be retrieved personally, of course...).

I love webpages filled with giant, rotting, whacky seacreatures.

We know more about the stars than we do about the world beneath the sea.

Or something.

The fossil record is good proof that God likes pro-wrestling.

I bet He has every cable channel, and probably watches the pay-per-views also.

How do we know this? Simple.

And sometimes extinction is not such a bad thing.

Especially if not one of those mad experiments in bigger-is-better would have any problem eating the entire GT crew in less than two mouthfuls.

Ok, maybe three mouthfuls.
