Thank you! So COOL! I LOVE Octo/puses/podes/pi! That Australian Cuttlefish was pretty COOL as well! Their AMAZING ability to "melt" into their surroundings. Dried cuttlefish tastes YUMMY, as well as does octopus salad and...calamari steak. :-D I also think it's so amazing to think about how we've barely scratched the, uh, ocean bottom at a whopping 3 percent! This never gets old for me. So very fascinating place!

Now THAT is why I put myself through a degree in Marine Biology, as an adult, just because I wanted to and I could :-)
Shame I've never been able to use that particular degree 'in anger' though :-)

NO WAY! Are you serious?! Well that sure is inspiring to me! I have OFTEN regretted that I didn't do same, as a kid, and...have often thought it would be COOL to, one day, do just that! I think it would be COOL to be able to be part of the peeps who go and discover ALL these WILD creatures no one has ever cataloged! :-)

Keep forgetting to come back here and share the title of one of my most favorite movies...because there is an octopus in it: 'Cannery Row' It's a HOOT (and a howl! ;-) and a COOL movie and makes me miss Monterey and the BEST Aquarium on the west coast (methinks!)!
