it's not THAT amazing. i mean, we've ALL heard about it before and how an octapus doesn't have any bones at all, but it's still neat to see. :)

Umm...What is the "practical application" of this ability?? How many one-inch holes does this guy normaly have to slip through in a single day? I mean obviously there weren't any in the tank seeing as how they used an acrylic box for the stunt. I wonder if he's got an Agent?

It must have been a slow day at the marine-biology research lab for them to go round the sea floor looking for octopus's to catch and see if they can escape from small holes in boxes

"what is the difference between an octopus and a squid?"

Octopodes have eight arms, squid have eight arms and two tentacles. Squids have vestigial bone structure, octopodes don't. There are a bunch of differences between indivudual species. Squid are generally larger, less intelligent, more aggressive and less specialized.

To draw a broad comparison, an octopus is a chimp whereas a squid is a gorilla. Similar, related, but different.
