The Most I've Learned about Cephalopods in One Day
Thanks to Cute Overload pointing me to National Geographic, I now have some useless information to share at holiday parties. Who wants to know an interesting fact or two about Octopuses? I think it might even be dinner appropriate subject matter! If you too want to study up on trivial information, take a gander:

Not only will you learn about teeny little 3" octopi who have learned to crawl with coconuts suction-cupped to their tentacles for later use as shelter, you will also hear of the incredible flexibility of these non-skeletal deep sea creatures. If this doesn't get the conversations rolling, I don't know what will.
ok, seriously though, I'm fascinated.
wonder if i could fit one in a fish tank. . .
