why does this make me think that would be a good way to clear cloged viens for heart disease

Man, it'd be fun being an octopus.

Not for me, I don't like seafood.

Well, one of the few times where it IS good not to have any backbone.

 

[jds009]

that would be kinda cool!

Anyone can escape through a hole the size of a quarter if its below the spinning blades of a blender or two vessels with a vast air pressure different between them.

I have to install software to view this? (Danger, Will Robinson...)

Fascinating sea creature I must say! How about the one that was filmed escaping a boat?

 

[Concept]

They are amazing and creepy.

"I'd like to be, under the sea..."

They are highly intelligent as well. I've seen them do some amazing things on undersea shows.

If that passageway was the diameter of a quarter, then that octopus would be a couple of inches long. I find it hard to believe something that small would weigh 600lbs.

Exactly. Macromedia...never trusted it and have no reason to trust it now. Just because Adobe now owns it doesn't mean it's less of a virus gateway. Just because "everybody" is doing it doesn't mean it's cool.

Firefox? Not at all perfect but I like it better than IE.

FNinja, I agree with you.
As I figured, it never happened in the video. The narrator was just flapping his gums. Listen to the context of his words. It's a bit ovious to me that a 600lb octopus cannot do such a thing unless its tissues are VERY elastic.

Oh just great.... now I have a craving for calamares...

Ever eaten Octopus?


Since I know nothing about Octopuses, (actually, I think it is Octopi or Octopie, now that I think about it!) I'll have to go with the National Geographic guy.

Don't know for sure, but it is cool!

!?!..

 

[IsaacHayes]

Is it just squid that have beaks, or do octopuses do to? Cause a 600lb one's beak is probably bigger than a quarter.

 

[NAW]

Hmm... it didnt really look 600lbs to me.

 

[FNinjaP90]

Octopus tastes damn good. Just like calamari.
