147th - Octopuses

I'd like to officially announce my recognition and support for our future overlords: The Octopuses.

I don't normally blog a bunch of videos that aren't mine. This is more Tink's thing but I felt compelled. You'll understand why in a minute.

Today, I got bored and ended up on YouTube looking at videos of Octopuses doing various things. I'm going to post five of them. I'm fairly sure you'll agree with me by the end. Once they figure out how to move on land, we're boned.

We'll start of simple.



That creep you out a little? Now onto the mind-f*ck.





They see in black and white. I'm guessing they understand colour and texture through their skin. Now, the finale.



It ate a shark!! Also, they're big. Really big. Here's a link, to illustrate how big.

Never stepping into the ocean. Ever.



So, to summarize. Octopuses can't be stopped, can camouflage colours and texture, are fast, are huge, can eat sharks and are making their way on to land.

Sleep well.

Yea, not watching them. I don't like octopi in the first place (yes, i know that's not the plural form, but saying octopi is so much more fun than octopuses). ---The word verification is a real word! Can you guess what it was?---
