OF FLAT MATES AND OCTOPUSES

”Lately, I’ve been reading a book about octopuses.” (Other Minds by Peter Godfrey-Smith) //
”And cephalopods just are the best creatures in so many ways! Like, they can change the color and surface structure of their skin to almost anything!” //
And thus they can hide pretty much perfectly. //
”For animals this colorful octopuses have one really peculiar characteristic: they are color blind.” //
”Apparently they can sense color through their skin somehow. But what it feels like to them is a complete mystery.” //
”Good luck with thinking about this.” //
Most people: ”Huh?” ”What?” ”Why are you telling us this?” //
My flat mates: ”Wow! Please tell more!” ”That’s so cool! Octopuses are awesome!”

No, aika moni muukin on ollut sitä mieltä, että mustekalat on siistejä.
Well, quite a few other people agree that octopuses are cool.
