Octopi Like HDTV

Large species of octopi (edit: errr... octopods or octopuses, octopus being from Latin rather than Greek) have, in problem solving tests, been shown to be as intelligent as feral cats, which are generally more intelligent than (or at least not as intellectually lazy as) domestic cats.

If you are looking for an intelligent alien life form, look no further. Octopi (edit: errr... octopods or octopuses) are molluscs, not vertebrates.

And then look at the Squid; he's pretty darn bright for a mollusc, too.

Anyway, to the point, Octopi (edit: errr... octopods or octopuses) like HD TV.

El Squid we are waiting your reply.....:wave:

He's an Okie, so he might have to think quite a while. Unless he can find a Texan to help him out.

To help pass the time, here is an Okie joke. At the annual University of Texas/OU football game, two guys go into the restroom. The first guy to finish zips and heads for the door. The second guy says, "Hey, you must be a Texan!"

Guy 1 says, "Yeah, how did you know?"

Guy 2 replies, "In Oklahoma, they teach us to wash our hands after we pee."

Guy 1 "In Texas, they teach us not to pee on our hands!"

Here Squid, Squid, Squid.....

Hi ho! You cannot stop my minions from constructing the Mighty Fortress of Coconut! Which will come equipped with HD TV, cable, WiFi, and the rest of the amenities we invertebrates enjoy. :devil:

That's funny sl, when I heard that joke, it involved Sooners and Cowboys (OSU) and learning how not to pee on your hands in OU. But, in the spirit of recycling: Did you hear about the Texan's overweight wife that lost over 200 pounds of ugly fat? She divorced him! ;)

Since my older daughter wants to do the Marine Biology program at Texas A&M's Corpus Christi campus, I've mostly had to swear off Aggie jokes.

I am sure many a Sooner fan's heart went pit-a-pat, before they realized how improbable and impossible the "news" items were! Worthy of the Onion! :)
