I know life's tough so we need a place to show life affirming photos.

Here's my starter for 10, a photo from today's Times showing an Octopus playing with a Rubik's Cube!

Apparently this experiment highlighted that it's only two of the legs that act as 'arms' rather than four. The other 6 are used for propulsion. Also it was speculated that as the octopi (?) couldn't actually complete the rubiks cube within an hour, that they are in fact colour blind.

I don't care - he's a beauty!

I hear it didn't complete within the hour due to RC trying to eat it while still alive...

I like your picture Simon, this one is also cool

Excellent find, Upright.

They look like rejects from a Dr Who episode.
