   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.)

   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.
