There's been more and more evidence lately about how smart opctupees are. I think even just a few days ago one passed an intelligence test designed for human children. (EDIT: This was actually another cephalopod, a cuttlefish, but same class and frankly octupoonai are prob smarter than cuttlefish.)
Anyway. I'm not one of those pussies who would ever tell somebody not to eat whatever the fuck they want for whatever the fuck reason they want, and more power to you for catching it yourself. But that being said alls I'm sayin is that I kinda hope when you try to trap one he pulls some road runner shit and you end up being the one trapped in the cage with ink in your eye while he "meep meeps" the fuck out of there.
