Clever things, they are... and tasty too

In places like Thailand they sell octopus curry in a coconut sauce - served in a coconut shell

Love the bit in the middle of that video where the octopus climbs into one half of a shell and pulls another half on top of it.

I got a very mixed reaction from the family when I showed it to them last night. I showed the wife first, she turned and said "Gross" which immediately brought The Smalls running. My daughter said "Aaahhhh, cute" and my son said "Cool".

I love the way it can sit on top of the shell, put its tentacles around it, and then use the ends of its tentacles like legs to run!

Perhaps the octopus rides the shell for pleasure in the same way we ride bikes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
