I was watching a discovery channel show on "Mimic Octopus" about 2 years ago, and I still vividly remember it I was so impressed. It can imitate so many different animals.

Yeah Xav, it's stunning how well they're able to do that, isn't it?

Perhaps we should not release tank-raised octopi into the wild....

If they have been watching us, terrible confusion could result.

Well, maybe not, but seriously--many mimics imitate dangerous predators...why not pretend to humanity?
