An invertebrate biologist said once: "The only thing keeping cephalopods from advancing to human-like intelligence is a simple lack of longevity".

I still have a secret hope Kraken's are real, and are octopi, and not squids.

And way intelligent.

well, if they were alive, they would be smart enough not to let us see them, right :p

I used to jokingly theorize before we ever saw a giant squid that they were actually super intelligent and just liked screwing with us, knowing we weren't able to run into them. or else were making theories about these strange non-fish that sometimes went deep enough to be near their domain.

I've had that thought myself. I'm still waiting for someone to engineer/breed a long-lived one.
