Octopus proven to be alien

@Liljo
Do you know who wrote that bit? Another of my favorites from this artist:

"I was a free man in Paris, I felt unfettered and alive, Nobody calling me up for favors, nobody's future to decide, while I stoke the starmaker machinery behind the popular song''

So who did those songs?

Octopi DNA is not from earth

It annoys me when articles like this discuss the science without providing a reference to the original work.

@wildgrass
Considering there never has been an alien DNA or equivalent found ANYWHERE on Earth, the whole thing is bogus since to show alien genes or whatever you NEED aliens.

Since there are ZERO aliens on Earth it is total BS to even SUGGEST octopi's are alien. What a crock of shyte.

this whole matter was discussed on of "Ancient Aliens", of which I have watched EVERY episode !!

Oh right, SUCH a reliable source. I guess then you look at those shows and when the folks on the show jump two feet in the air when a squeak happens because to them it is ALIENS or DEAD PEOPLE.

Just like the bigfoot contingent.

Lots of shows where they like set up on some mountain in Tibet or whatever and think they are actually doing something and they can only be there for a couple of days.

Yeah, like a real search.

Then they find something like a hunk of fur on a tree and they get all excited and rush it to do a DNA analysis only to find out EVERY TIME, it is a BADGER or BEAR or whatnot.

ALL those shows are pathetic.
