I ran across a video of an octopus stealing a video camera from a person today. It was too funny and got me to thinking how awesome the sea creature really is.

  2. That video makes me really want to go Octopus hunting. Who cares about that shark in New Jersey they were talking about on the news today when Octopuses are clearly more b.a.!
