Discover has a very interesting article up about the brainpower of the octopus. I have heard this kind of talk about octopuses - octopi? - before. They're like superheroes with all of their strange undersea powers - clouds of ink, color changing, jar opening.

"Spoiler", here is my favorite part of the article:

'Some have been caught sneaking from their tanks at night into other exhibits, gobbling up fish, then sneaking back to their tanks, damp trails along walls and floors giving them away.'

I don't think I want to work nights at the aquarium anymore!

I've palpated the preserved brain of a sheep and the fresh brain of a pig, and found both disappointingly crumbly.

I've seen Return of the Living Dead and uh... hmmm. My experience with brains ends there in so many ways.
