Otto's Revenge
Oh, boy. In case you doubted the octopus's intelligence, listen to this story about one German aquarium's Otto, a disgruntled cephalopod who short-circuited the aquarium's 2000 watt electricity supply by shooting water at it in annoyance.
And no, this is not another cephalopod item from the Onion.
One aquarium worker is quoted:
"Once we saw him juggling the hermit crabs in his tank, another time he threw stones against the glass damaging it. And from time to time he completely re-arranges his tank to make it suit his own taste better - much to the distress of his fellow tank inhabitants."
So perhaps Otto is a bit of a diva, but I think we all can empathize -- sometimes those bright fluorescent lights are enough to make you blow a fuse...
