This is the most awesome thing I have seen in ages. Man, those things can run!

And I LOL'd at the end.

Just be glad you're not living in the era when these were running around.

Octopi are the awesome. Having seen, held them, and had one on my head SCUBA diving, I'll never eat one. Something about them is just too cool, and so for me they'll never be food. I say let them live their octopus lives in their octopus gardens.

What I want to see -

An octopus getting into an abandoned turtle shell, leaving the head out in the head hole, and two legs through each leg hole, then moving around and freaking out sea turtles.

I now have the wonderful image of an octopus standing up in its coconut helmet and saying, 'You realise this means war!'

I so want it to be real

Octopi scare me. They're so smart and so fast. And some of them are so big.

I lurrrve this! I heard they also will carry around beer bottles as portable shelters.

The running octopus looks like something right out of an old Warner Bros. cartoon.

I love octopi! I think it's awesome they can run with their tentacles and carry stuff.

And they're beautiful besides.
