Cuttlefish: Aliens?

I just watched a show on cuttlefish - the octopus' crazy chameleon cousin. PBS, Nova, Hi-Def bitches! Anyway, nerdy talking heads and ugly gap-toothed Australian marine biologist dude aside, it was really cool. I can only imagine what that first unlucky Australian diver must have thought when he came across a fish who could turn into a strobe light, or a piece of seaweed, or a chunk of coral, and then slap you in the goggles with two paddle tentacles before disappearing into a cloud of ink. Probably something like "aaaaaaaaahh!!!".

Youtube it.

Then I daresay you didn't get the full experience.

My HD fills a hole in my life I didn't know existed.
