3. Amazing creatures. I wish there was an octopus I could call when I'm lonely.

4. Let me comment on my own posting

Wouldn't it be something if we could get some of that color changing put into our politicians or maybe a nose that got longer and longer as they lied.

5. I saw that program!

It was amazing! I only ate octopus once, but years ago the research about their unique form of intelligence was coming out and I was happy to cross that creature off of the food list.

It was hardly a brave sacrifice. Giving up Chick-fil-a's brownies because of the company's stand on gay marriage--now that was a sacrifice!

8. I saw it too.

Almost want one now, but with only a 1 to 2 life span, it would be sad. I love Heidi.

10. Heidi was cool.

If I lost a neat animal companion like that, I would need to seek solace in brownies. Curse you, Chick-fil-a !

15. Hope you don't like bacon.

9. Wow! Glad we can see them expressing feelings.

Most intelligent, interesting critters.

I began reading about them a couple of decades ago when people were finding out just how extraordinarily intelligent they are.

And I thought: Why are these critters on any menu?!!
Some people are just heartless.

14. I watched that show, brought an octopus into his home to live with, very affectionate she was

Since they only live for a year or two I would be trying to genetically alter them for a longer lifespan, they are a very alien intelligence that seem very interested in us.

I love them
