Following news that an octopus called Inky successfully staged a jailbreak from the New Zealand national aquarium, here are several good stories about octopuses doing various pranks including multiple escape attempts, shortcircuiting spotlights and stealing GoPro cameras.
".....He seemed to be fixated on the shiny metallic blue digital camera. The only confusing behaviour was how he dashed off with it like a thief haha. Cheeky octopus..."
Haha Cheeky Octopus Indeed.
Amazing creatures. Maybe Inky was escaping his life as a forced football result predictor?

Octopi are wonderful, wonderful creatures - there are two clips come to my mind -
(A viscous attack...? )
The Seattle Aquarium thought that the giant octopus's strength and camouflage would keep it safe when they moved it into the large fish and shark display... they made a tragic mistake. (The good news is that the octopus wasn't harmed....)
When I was in fifth grade the science teacher had a pet octopus named Mrs. Grundy - which would... flop... through a hoop, and learned to shake hands. (For the record - shaking hands with an octopus feels exactly like how you would expect it to feel.)

The reason I bought rules and became a real wargamer was because I wanted a properly thought out structure to govern the action instead of just making things up as I went along.
