She has eight arms to kill you

Shocking news today, an aquarium in New Zealand has what could be a freakishly intelligent octopus. "Octi" is so smart it can actually lift the lid off of its tank and escape at any time. We must keep this octopus in isolation, before other aquatic creatures start learning. Like raptors in Jurassic Park, it's only a matter of time before it learns to open doors.

Key quote: "Octi can open a plastic bottle filled with crab meat in less than 2-and-a-half minutes, using the suckers on her tentacles. She sometimes rises to the top of her tank and squirts water at her keepers, hitting them right in the eye."
