Look at this cute guy! But don't be deceived: Octopi are wicked smart, and if we don't keep a close eye on 'em, it's likely they'll eventually form some alliance with the dolphins, whales, and monkeys to overthrow us. BE PREPARED!
Seriously, though: Wicked smart. I saw a special on octopii and it showed how one octopus in a tank, watching another octopus in a separate tank navigate a puzzle to get a treat - time and time and time again the octopus who was watching would instantly solve the puzzle, proving they ability to learn by watching: a powerful ability.
Also, look how translucent this guy is. The chameleon powers of some octopus are simply amazing, but when I look at this little guy, I can see right through him, which reminds me of a fundamental truth: We (all life) is empty. Empty spaces in atoms, in molecules, in organs, in skin. We are 70% water! If you were told anything else was 70% water, you'd instantly conclude it would be a very liquid, but perhaps viscous substance. I bet you don't think that about yourself though.
Perspective, as always. It's the key to wisdom, I think.

Why I Love the Intertubes, Part 18
This is one of the aspects of the Webbytubes I love best: Someone, somewhere in the world, finds or makes something funny (in this case, the original Jesus with Constitution painting). Then, a bunch of people mock it and satirize it, with ever increasing skill and detail, until a few days later, whammo: You have Cthulhu givin' the Word. There will no doubt be more parodies to follow -- I'm waiting for the Flying Spaghetti Monster version, which I am 100% sure is coming.This is but one example of the constant dialectic occurring on the Internet via blogs and discussion boards. It's a truly revolutionary form of communication for humanity, and kicks up our potential by several degrees. Kudos, Al Gore!
