Dear Friends: "Let's get things back into persepctive here!
By now you know that your humble reporter has nothing but disdain for conspiracy theorists, but I'm going to start one theory myself since there just might be some truth to it!
I've delved into this subject a few times before but here we go for on last hurrah.
Octopuses are - REAL ALIENS!
That's right kids, they invaded our planet at some time in the past, but since they only live in the water it didn't have much impact on us humans.
How smart are they?
A human brain has about 100 BILLION neurons while an octopus brain is about 500 Billion neurons!
OK, so some of that brainpower is used to move their tentacles, but just the same they have grey matter that is five times bigger than a humans brain.
PLUS:
An article in Scientific American magazine describes these amazing creatures the following way:
Here we see a description of a meeting with an octopus:
"A second meeting with an octopus: this one is in a den. Shells are strewn in front, arranged with some pieces of old glass. You stop in front of its house, and the two of you look at each other. This one is small, about the size of a tennis ball. You reach forward a hand and stretch out one finger, and one octopus arm slowly uncoils and comes out to touch you. The suckers grab your skin, and the hold is disconcertingly tight. It tugs your finger, tasting it as it pulls you gently in. The arm is packed with sensors, hundreds of them in each of the dozens of suckers. The arm itself is alive with neurons, a nest of nervous activity. Behind the arm, large round eyes watch you the whole time."
CREEPY EH?
YUP, I said it before and I'll say it again folks.
OCTOPODES ARE ALIENS!

An article in Scientific American magazine describes these amazing creatures the following way:
- The majority of neurons in an octopus are found in the arms, which can independently taste and touch and also control basic motions without input from the brain.
- Octopus brains and vertebrate brains have no common anatomy but support a variety of similar features, including forms of short- and long-term memory, versions of sleep, and the capacities to recognize individual people and explore objects through play.
