    *grin* Does that mean no more calamari for dinner?

    I try to avoid eating anything that smart.

  3. I try to avoid drinking anything that smart, even.

    (lives in a region where drinking out of coconuts is a popular pastime)

    (just not coconuts that have been in the ocean for ages.)

    (unless they’re sea coconuts)

    I already knew those tentacled marvels were way more intelligent than most people expected, even people that have seen them moving thru mazes and unscrewing bottles, in my lifetime i expect to see many more surprising discoveries about their intelligence.

    I, for one, welcome our new cephalopod overlords.
