Octopus feature story in The Stranger

Post by renoun »

For some reason The Stranger (Seattle's alternative weekly paper) has published an article all about octos. It covers subjects ranging from the aquarium escape stories that we are familiar with to Japanese tentacle porn (don't want to know who is familiar with that). Roland Anderson is interviewed also. Any way this week you'll have a legitimate cover story if you get caught reading Savage Love.

That article is actually one of the better articles I have read on the Octopus. It is obviously written with a Stranger flair to it, but the biological information is really good.

It is a good article, but I must say: The section on Japanese Tentacle Porn was riddled with inaccuracies and half-truths.
