All Hail the Spawn of the Great Cthulhu!
We should go tactical nuke fishing them. You know, like dynamite fishing, but with tactical nukes... The underwater ecosystem isn't that fragile is it? >_>

Octopodes.
And yes, they do, they can open jars and solve a Rubik's cube (with some luck... they can turn all the rows properly). However, they have a really shite memory and need to be taught how to do so over and over again. They never learn it permanently.

They wouldn't remember having done it before, so it'd be new to them. Buy them one film on DVD and they'll never get bored.

But by the middle of the movie they would forget everything that had been going on...And by the end the middle would be forgoten....

Notice the cat's state of paralysis as the squid sucks out its brains.
