Makes me want to get an aquarium, but I don't need yet another thing to take care of. Two kids & 2 cats is quite enough.I went to the Monterey Bay Aquarium when I was in California about 10 days ago. I spent quite a bit of time watching the cuttlefish. They are the coolest! They change color and their eyes are in the shape of a figure-eight. I kid you not.
I got very protective of the little cuties. The cephalopods (octopus, squid, cuttlefish, chambered nautilus) don't like flash photography--there are signs posted asking people *not* to use their flashes. I actually started telling off people who used flash.
