No explanation at the link – how did they manage to get that 8-footer into the jar?
Wild old caveman, now less rancidsays
the Martians took 19 hours to unscrew their cylinders in “the war of the worlds” they should have brought an octopus with them

Why I won’t eat octopus or root for the Detroit Red Wings.

Be fair. The Martians had to wait until the cylinder had cooled down enough before applying their tentacles. It’s not their fault they hadn’t yet invented Space Shuttle tiles.
Would it have managed a left hand threaded lid though? Octopussies might just be constructed on clockwise principles.

That’s pretty much it. One method of fishing for octopuses is to literally put a pot on the sea bottom, wait a few days, then haul it back up. These aren’t like lobster pots with a funnel or other trapping structure, just a simple earthenware pot that doesn’t even have any bait.
It seems that, like some cats, octopuses like to crawl into small spaces.
Very funny

They’re basically eight-legged sea-cats, and cats are pretty much liquid, so…

Just like ships-in-a-bottle, the octopus-in-a-bottle was carefully built in the bottle by a skilled artisan.

Octopods will rule the world one day.

Yep. If it fits, I sits.
Speaking of, anyone know where I can find a very large cardboard box?
