Nina Dailies

Dino is on a mission: to prepare an enclosed water habitat for his future pet octopus, Mister Boots.
First it was named Mister Pants, but then it's found out that the name's already taken by his co-worker's cat.

A water tank was bought and how expensive it was! I don't even want to know how much the actual octopus will cost. Now I'm expecting a lot of things from this Boots guy. He better amuse and impress me. With that I mean, I want to see antics other than the ones on YouTube like opening glass jars.
Apparently, these creatures are smart as dogs. I actually read a story about a zoo octopus that shot water at a lighting fixture, causing a power outage. It was irritated by the lights still on beyond zoo hours, or it was doing some covert operations at night and didn't want to get tracked/identified by security cameras. I probably made that last statement up. It's true about the water shooting incident though.
