@rookie54 saidBy no means impossible. I saw a documentary in which they discovered that an Octopus was leaving it's tank at night and checking out the house. it was crossing whole rooms but sticking in the tank when people were around.
THEY POOP IN YER BOOTS WHILE YOU SLEEP???
this explains some things
But if it's pooping in your headphones that has to be a cat. Anybody remember Fat Freddy's cat? 'Wait til he puts his headphones on'.
@petewxyz saidUndersea life is a horror show. There’s constantly something trying to eat you. I say more plastic and chemicals in the oceans the better. We need to kill those things off before they find their way onto land.
Okay, this far into lockdown it's probably time there was more fish related conversation.
I was shocked when I heard that Giant Squid have the same problem solving ability as dogs. It opened up whole new horizons for me so I thought I should share.

@hand-of-hecate saidYeah, but what if the chemicals just make the fish scarier. Watch The Simpsons, solid and informative perspective on fish mutation.

Who really knows what they are all up to now we are in lockdown?

Don't drown this thread in a sea of unrequited love stories.
BTW: How big was she? 😁

@petewxyz saidThere is an argument to be made that genetically modified cephalopods could be used as our first interstellar travelers. They can take remarkably high g force for a long period of time. More than double that of what a human can sustain even for a few seconds. While high temperatures are a problem, it’s been demonstrated that some cephalopods can be frozen and thawed with out and obvious damage. Remarkable if creepy animals.
This is, however, plainly a fish related issue as is your pertinent observation.
Note that some frogs, lobsters and alligators have been known to be frozen solid and thawed good to go.
@hand-of-hecate saidQuite the fish story!!! 😉

@hand-of-hecate saidThey also have sufficient arms to operate numerous controls with only limited crew numbers. Makes colonisation of distant planets seem highly feasible.

@petewxyz saidI suspect tru colonization will end up being completely mechanized with frozen embryos and seeds. Still the idea of Space Octopi is intriguing.

@very-rusty saidWell to you most science must seem like magic. I imagine going through life with such a vague understanding would be both fascinating and frightening. Let me tuck you in with your safety blanket of religion and a hot cup of cocoa. Let the adults talk about strange and wondrous things while you dwell on more mundane enterprises.
Quite the fish story!!! 😉
