found this video of an octopii ! the puss steals this poor guys camera. they are incredibly intelligent and if you go into their dens they will often have diving knives ,masks, and other shiney things. www.i-am-bored.com/bored_link.cfm?link_id=49084

That was cool video Bill. Owning an octopus was one of the major reasons I set my first marine tank in 1977. I loved my first little brown octopus, he often came up and touched me and had quite the personality. Later I even kept a Blue Ring Octopus which are deadly poisonous (I never touched him even when he made friendly overtures) What is so sad, is that for such intelligent creatures, they have such a short lifespan, often less than 2 years OctopusCarl

thanx for the entertaining articles to go along with an entertaining video. just a side note....some zoologists have put these animals intelligence to that of a 4 or 5 year old child.

ROFL That was so funny. I can't help but think of dolphins the way they steal and almost play with things.
It attacked the person so it could get the camera. lol And the spear thingy, why swim when you can enjoy a ride on it. lol
I do think after watching that if an octopus got ahold of someone's car keys and was taught how to start a car, it could actually drive (kind of) underwater. Not that it is possible underwater. Still, think about it. It has 8 arms. One for changing gears, another 2 for the steering wheel, and if it could stretch far enough two more for the accelerator and brake. Just a silly thought. lol
