Yep. On PBS just a couple of nights ago, a repeat feature with an article about a teen with a large aquarium at home, raising an octopus and establishing a pet-like relationship with it. Fascinating and endearing.

Yeah, I watched it when it first came out, and I recorded this one on the DVR (so I can watch it again).  Quite enlightening stuff.

You no longer eat it?  We are on the top of the food chain - you should just enjoy yourself until octopuses (or is it octopii?) figure out a way to wage war on humans. 
Your theme-appropriate avatar also gave me a chuckle.

They would eat us if they could. Also, they can be cannibalistic and eat each other, because they know, they taste good.

As the top of the food chain, it is our responsibility to eat any animals that are attempting to de-throne us. Personally, I think cows are just playing dumb so we won't expect it when they rise up and attack...

When I was teaching my daughter how Natural Selection works when she was in middle school.... I used squirrels as an example.

I said, think about it.  Dumb squirrels get run over.  Or eaten by owls.

Thus.... only smart squirrels survive... and they breed.
And every generation, they get smarter and smarter.

One day the world will be ruled by super-squirrels... who are biding their time before they take over.

She's never forgiven me for teaching her that.

Maybe we should eat more squirrels.

Speaking of smart squirrels

Don't let her watch this bit of a Rick & Morty episode:

Speaking of equine humor, here's one of my favorite Far Side cartoons.



 

As Mel Brooks says, “Tragedy is when I cut my finger. Comedy is when you fall into an open sewer and die," and in that light I have a hard time being a hater of comedic taste.

[Dwight in Toronto]

Man, that Far Side is funny, never saw that one before.  I really miss Gary Larson’s stuff
