Octopuses seem to be having a moment now or maybe it is just me. There is the recent film Remarkably Bright Creatures, which dropped just last week. Featuring an octopus and a couple lonely humans, it is a sweet sentimental movie that was a joy to watch. Before that a Japanese archeologist had announced his discovery of giant cretaceous octopuses. He found their fossilized beaks embedded in ocean floor nodules that had to be microplaned apart to find. Earlier this year, when we were in Monterey, where we went to their aquarium. We closed it that day, but before we did the Giant Pacific Octopus that lives there came out of hiding and interacted with the few humans still around. A few years ago, I was scuba diving in the Virgin Islands and with the help of our guide, saw an octopus in the wild. Finally, harkening all the way back to childhood, I owned an octopus or at least its remains. It was small, a little over an inch and had been dried. A little bit gross but fascinating still.
