I feel like blowing some really gorgeous vessels and tossing them into the sea to provide homes for octopuses. Now, that's a real life purpose.

Poor octopus shantitown off the coast of Brazil.

This one has a better view of the beach

Can a dog help you open a pickle jar??? No. Can a dog help you fetch those last olives at the bottom of the jar??? No. Can a dog help you fight a crab infestation???? No!! And what would you rather have in your Habitrail? A stupid hamster? No!

Octopuses are superior in every way.

Also, pitbulls are so lame compared to this

Never swim without your pet octopi if you're afraid of sharks!

Let's put you in a tank with a octopus and see who wins the contest.

Octopuses can yield pistols, too!

Forget pet, I want to marry one.

An aquarium on wheels solves this problem nicely.

That's not what the blue-ringed octopus says. I gave it your address. When your doorbell rings, look down. And say goodbye. To life.

I don't have nearly as much confidence about what super-octopuses will do.
This.

You guys are just playing safe. I'm taking my chances and submitting to the super intelligent octopus.

There is an entire sub-genre of Japanese animation that caters towards a related fantasy. Urotsukidōj started it.

I want more pictures!
