22 Reasons Why The Octopus Is The Biggest Badass In The Ocean

See #5. Wanna know why an octopus’s head is so big? It’s FULL OF SECRETS (and about 500 million large neurons).
The human brain, in comparison, has about 100 billion smaller neurons. An octopus can problem solve, find solutions to puzzles, and is capable of “conceptual thinking.”

But the bad news is:
15. IF YOU HAVE SEX, YOU WILL GET PREGNANT. AND DIE.
Soon after the eggs hatch, both the male and female octopus just stop living. THAT’S RIGHT. THERE IS NO “JOY OF PARENTING” HERE. Just death. Depressing death.

Or perhaps the ultimate satisfaction of a life well lived?

That would explain their seeking of human, alien and fantasy females to have tentacle sex with.

If Humboldt squid lived as long as humans do, they'd be building water-filled supramarines and come hunting us!

OMG, thank you for all this important research for Dampy's and my were-octopus saga which will one day make us millions and we will take you all out for cock-tails. (Did I write that right? *Makes soppy MILF face*)

Dear JackLuis, this is a quick on a postcard from my holiday. I will be back properly soon! (With your edited story. And TX's. And some others, LOL.)

Excellent nonceword

yeah, the tragedy of an Octopus's life is that it's only about three years span.

And Stella would be yelling; "Take me, no really, Take me!"

Me too! I mean, I would be yelling: "Me too!"

Okay, now see, I see that pic and think, I hope that squid's being REALLY careful. Because (I'm an amateur cephalopod enthusiast), squids have POINTY BEAKS that are really hard and sharp and -- ergh.

Now there you go with those silly realistic details again

You're lucky I didn't talk about their tongues. Ack. Ick.

Or that on a male, one of the tentacles is the sex organ.

 

[SandraMustard]

Now that I thing about it, back in high school, I believe I had a date with an octopus - at least, it seemed like I did.

As this woman found out:

Squid Injects Woman's Tongue With Sperm Bag As She Eats In Korea

A woman in Seoul, Korea was eating semi-boiled squid when the cephalopod injected its sperm bag into her tongue, according to research published in February.

The unidentified woman reportedly experienced a "pricking and foreign-body sensation" while she chewed and spat the squid out. She had to go to the hospital when she felt severe pain and several "small, squirming" creepy crawlies in her mouth.

Doctors found that the squid had left "twelve small, white spindle-shaped, bug-like organisms" in the mucous membranes of her tongue and cheek.

I did not make this up: http://www.democraticunderground.com/11031306

And as for cephalopod tongues, they have this:
* Radula: a tongue-like feeding structure equipped with rasping “teeth”

I'm surprised there isn't a sex toy named and patterned after that. (Or is someone going to prove there is already with a link to one?)

Here's what they look like

I dunno... An electric toothbrush seems adequate. I mean if you really want to go there...

Yeah, I really don't think you want a toy named or patterned after that... OTOH, squids do different things like change colors (via cells called chromatophores), and flash lights, so that might be more fun in a sex toy. Octopuses (another cephalopod) also change not only their colors, but their skin texture for camouflage.

Sorry. I'm a geek.

 

[voluptuary_manque]

My summer story is based on just that sort of thing, a xeno-nudibranch species that can overlay human DNA with their own resulting in babies being born with technicolor hair and eyes and some of them with chromatophores. It must have been really startling when the infant suddenly took on the color of its changing table in the middle of a diaper switch . . .

One of these days I want to write a sci-fi (?) story about somebody with chromatophores that react to arousal.

I love the cuttlefish at aquariums. They hover and watch people and the colours flicker on their skin. It certainly feels like there's some sort of intelligence behind those eyes.

I don't know why but that last line you wrote gave me the creeps. Something about intelligent squid like creatures watching you... yeesh.

 

[voluptuary_manque]

Don't take up scuba or free diving then. With octopuses and cuttlefish it's intelligence. With large squid it's intelligent hunger.

Good lord, how did I not use that concept for Despina?
