Trickster Octopus Tugs Valve, Floods Santa Monica Aquarium
Thursday , February 26, 2009
ADVERTISEMENTAn eight-armed trickster is accused of flooding the Santa Monica Pier Aquarium's California offices Thursday morning with saltwater.
Aquarium staff blames the aquarium's small resident two-spotted octopus known for her curiosity for the soaking.
"It found something loose and just pulled on it," Tara Treiber, the aquarium's education manager, told the Los Angeles Times. "They are very smart creatures."
Staff said they believe the octopus tugged open a water valve allowing in hundreds of gallons of water to overflow its tank.
The newspaper reported that a worker found about 3 inches of water outside the tank.
Fortunately for its neighbors, the excess water did not harm any sea life. But the water might have damaged the aquarium's new, ecologically-designed floors.
"They are solitary but curious creatures," Treiber told the newspaper.

They are just testing our defenses. It's only a matter of time before they attack.

And whilst you're pointing and shouting at the boogeyman in the corner, you're missing the burglar coming in through the window.
Well, Duh! Because they had a giant Mining ship. If you had a giant mining ship you would drill holes in everything too, before you'd destory it with a black hole |

it's already worse than you'd think
A research laboratory reported a similar story, with a security camera filming an octopus stealing fish from a neighbouring tank and then covering his tracks.
..covered his tracks ...so....he knew what he was doing was wrong then ?

The poor man really has a stake in the country. The rich man hasn't; he can go away to New Guinea in a yacht. The poor have sometimes objected to being governed badly; the rich have always objected to being governed at all
We love our superheroes because they refuse to give up on us. We can analyze them out of existence, kill them, ban them, mock them, and still they return, patiently reminding us of who we are and what we wish we could be.
