Pretty creepy, but fascinating.
Hmmmmm Interesting. I have yet to do research on the squids but having doing a very quick search on octopus I don't think they would attack there is information on defense but nothing about attacking so far. I am looking forward to researching this further.

Also can anyone help me with the name of the film with this scene: characters standing in what they thought to be a secure room on a boat talking about how an octopus can find its way in because of its intelligent they go on to talk about the food in the jar test. I have seen it but cant remember the name. thanks
