Well, these "brothers of cthulhu" have always intrigued me, I am intrigued to know as they live, or the maximum size that they have. I leave these photos

I would not like to meet one, you know, the big depths of sea are not absolutely known for us and who knows what kind of creatures exist there

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.
