Octopussy's revenge

03.25.2005

Several friends posted before, worried about giant squids threatening to destroy us. I used to mock them. Too much 19th century scifi, not enough of the 20th century variety. But. Maybe they were onto something? Because it seems octopi can walk (watch the video!). Thank God they can't breathe on land. Yet.

Indeed it is. If robots don't get us first.

Disguised as an algae, it looks like a little dragon walking!
