    I love octopuses. They are so clever. My friend worked as a docent at an aquarium and she told me a male octopus, obviously in the mood for love, managed to get out of his thank, make his way to the tank of a nearby female, then got himself into her tank.

    My dad actually used to own a small aquarium where him and his family would sell stuff like filters and jars for fish. We used to own an octopus that would often escape.
