To all SSC Station occupants
Thank you for the donations over the past year (2024), it is much appreciated. I am still trying to figure out how to migrate the forums to another community software (probably phpbb) but in the meantime I have updated the forum software to the latest version. SSC has been around a while so their is some very long time members here still using the site, thanks for making SSC home and sorry I haven't been as vocal as I should be in the forums I will try to improve my posting frequency.
Thank you again to all of the members that do take the time to donate a little, it helps keep this station functioning on the outer reaches of space.

I've long known how intelligent is the octopus - right up there with dolphins, in my opinion. This is a thought-provoking piece:
Intelligent yes, but you forgot to mention how delicious they are. 😊
I kid you Cody. I recall that some one put out a theory that they are not native to the planet, have you heard of this?
you forgot to mention how delicious they are
Indeed they are! As a young man, I enjoyed eating pulpo. But I learnt, and haven't eaten any since.

I have, and it wouldn't be too hard to believe. But somehow, I doubt it, as we seem to share an ancestor.
If you can access the BBC iPlayer, this may be of interest... Octopolis.
The more I read, the more fascinated I become! More octopus stuff here - Octopolis and Octlantis!
News that the world's first commercial octopus farm is closer to becoming reality has been met with dismay by scientists and conservationists.
Very sad! BBC article here.
