I like the taste of octupus more than shark. Shark is to, I don't know, bland.

Beren, If YOU were an octopus, what would your login name be?

I think I had shark once. At least, they told me it was shark. It was an office potluck, and a Philippine lady brought in a dish from her culture that, she claimed, had pieces of shark in it. If it really was shark, then shark tastes a lot like pork.

Octopus I have had many times and eat whenever I can.

As for the video, is it supposed to be like that? It looks like a series of still photographs shown for several seconds each. Not much to watch, really.

Is this an taste contest or a fight?

In a fight, the octopus would clearly win.

It be like a bull and a matador, the octopus would keep taunting the shark with his tentacles and spinning him every which way.

"Would it help to confuse it if we ran away a bit more?"

Sorry I don't know why I thought of that...

Tante, if I were an octopus I would regenerate my lost arm and be "Beren the touchy feely."

Verily, it is suppose to be a video with sharks shooting lasers out of their eyes. OK, just kidding about the laser part. But it is an interesting video.
