    I saw that movie. My wife and I thought it might be a fun, campy, summer distraction. I knew it would be bad, but I wasn’t prepared for how frightfully bad it was. Sharknado was a better movie. Sharknado 2 through 6 were better movies.

    Octopuses ‘are aliens’, scientists decide after DNA study

    Not to freak you out or anything, but scientists have just revealed that octopuses are so weird they’re basically aliens.

    The first full genome sequence shows of that octopuses (NOT octopi) are totally different from all other animals – and their genome shows a striking level of complexity with 33,000 protein-coding genes identified, more than in a human.

    There we were thinking it was quite freaky enough when they learned how to open jam jars.

    US researcher Dr Clifton Ragsdale, from the University of Chicago, said: ;The octopus appears to be utterly different from all other animals, even other molluscs, with its eight prehensile arms, its large brain and its clever problem-solving abilities.

    ‘The late British zoologist Martin Wells said the octopus is an alien. In this sense, then, our paper describes the first sequenced genome from an alien.’
