A small octopus at the Santa Monica Pier aquarium disassembled the recycling system valve at the top of her tank and flooded the building with 200 gallons of seawater.

The tiny octopus, which is about the size of a human forearm when its appendages are extended, floated lazily in the water that remained in its tank.

It watched intently through glass walls and portholes as workers struggled to dry the place out in time for the day's first busload of schoolchildren to arrive on a 9:30 a.m. field trip.


The only significant damage was to new flooring in some offices.

Glad she didn't die like the other octopus mentioned in the article. Cephalopods are indeed really cool.

They're so much like us - I can completely imagine humans, trapped by aliens, breaking the life-support system in their own cells.

Eventually they're going to take over the world.
