Inky may not be mad as hell, but he's not going to take being held in the dark from life's mysteries anymore.

An octopus has made a brazen escape from the national aquarium in New Zealand by breaking out of its tank, slithering down a 50-metre drainpipe and disappearing into the sea.

In scenes reminiscent of Finding Nemo, Inky – a common New Zealand octopus – made his dash for freedom after the lid of his tank was accidentally left slightly ajar. ...

“But Inky really tested the waters here. I don’t think he was unhappy with us, or lonely, as octopus are solitary creatures. But he is such a curious boy. He would want to know what’s happening on the outside. That’s just his personality.”

Inky, I know how you feel!

Would the great escape artist be up to breaking in? The White House plumbers were working for the Republicans. Could the Sanders campaign be preemptively washing it's hands of responsibility for lifting the transcripts? Will it be using tentacles for this inky dirty trick?

We can only imagine the Coleoidean position on the great issues of the day. But how would you like this said about you? Cephalopods = Financial Bankers

The first thing you need to know about Goldman Sachs is that it's everywhere. The world's most powerful investment bank is a great vampire squid wrapped around the face of humanity, relentlessly jamming its blood funnel into anything that smells like money. In fact, the history of the recent financial crisis, which doubles as a history of the rapid decline and fall of the suddenly swindled dry American empire, reads like a Who's Who of Goldman Sachs graduates.

Especially when, even when attached to a human face, you are probably just experimenting in a relatively safe way. (Wish I could fairly use these photos.)

So what to do when you find a Giant Pacific Octopus on your dive buddy’s head? Observe, marvel, take some photos, share and maybe it can help dispel some of the mythology and vilification about these fabulous marine neighbours.

These clearly are uncharted presidential waters, with the life we aren't allowed to sea ever tempting us, we who are not just out looking for some strange, with the hidden truth beneath the surface all the more tantalizing than fiction because the system is rigged and the clock is being run out with commercials during the season's final episode.

Who's being cynical here? A grumpy person has never gotten this far before, but the media characterization of him is deeply unfair:

The character is portrayed as ill-tempered, pretentious, and cynical who strongly despises his neighbors for their constant boisterous, noisy behavior.
