    Legend has it that the octopus eventually put Steve out of business, forcing him to Uber and wait tables on the weekends.

    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.

    "A sure sign that an octopus has struck: a trail of empty shells, and a frustrated fisherman" made me laugh so hard.

    Octopus: I'm not trapped in here with you, you're trapped in here with me.

    It's amazing how the octopus acted to fit the script.

    Octopuses are amazing. Untaught, with a tiny lifespan, their relatives mostly having the IQ of the shells on the seafloor, octopuses show intelligence and thinking equivalent to terrestrial mammals.
