"I'd like to be under the sea..."
Anyone else have fond memories of this song from Abbey Road? That album has a soft place in my heart. Being the first person in my class to get a copy (birthday present) I had a short but exhilarating few days as a 'cool' kid!
Returning to the topic of real life octopuses... octopuses have been known to decorate their homes with shells, pieces of broken glass and other items they have scavenged from the sea. They are curious creatures, often investigating items which could clearly not be 'food.' This is one of the attributes which researchers claim points to a (relatively) high level of intelligence.
