An octopus managed to flood some of the small aquarium at the Santa Monica Pier today by opening up a valve inside the tank. Joel pointed out when I sent him the story that perhaps inside an octopus tank is not a great place for a valve that can be turned by, say, an octopus.
Anyway, the comments on the story are highly amusing, particularly the guy who suspects the octopus was trying to “move into an adjacent, rent-controlled tank.”
