Octopuses Brainy Machines

A Giant pacific octopus named Billye was able to open a childproof container in under an hour at the Seatlle Aquarium.
Scientists have long documented the ability of octopuses to solve mazes, complete tasks, and, at least in the short term, remember what they have learned. Billye, a Giant Pacific octopus living at the Seattle Aquarium, amazed her handlers one day by figuring out how to open a container with a childproof safety cap in less than an hour. But Billye's accomplishment is not entirely unique -- in the 1950s, Jacques Cousteau found that octopuses were even able to remove corks from bottles.
Viva the Vino!

Give the octopuses a HAND!!!
