I was watching a bit on utube yesterday about a bloke training an octopus to play a piano, of sorts. I.e. it wasn't sitting on a stool playing the piano if that's what you are thinking 😉.
Octopus are such amazing animals.
They are intelligent having short and long term memory.
Each tentacle can act independently.
And they can change colour, shape and texture in a flash to match anything.

Yes, they are very smart critters found one opening my catcher's bag full of fish once, so I cleaned one early and fed him the offal, you never seen anything so happy to snack on fish guts.

Oh yeah and also, they are good eating and bait.
 
WHAT IS THIS FRIGGIN WORLD COMING TO.

A bomb threat was made against St. John's Catholic Church in Campbelltown recently by someone, and I'm guessing Asian, I was going to say Chinese, but I won't as I may be suspended again for racism.

The message was "A bomb has been placed in your church if the planned event is not cancelled by tomorrow night, cooperation with Falun Gong is not terminated, and a statement [apology] is not made online, the bomb will be detonated".

The reason for this lunacy is a film was going to be shown called State Organs in which claims have been made that the Chines are harvesting organs from prisoners of conscience, Falun Gong, Uyghurs and other detained groups.

Macarthur Social Justice Network had also been promoting the film on its website.

The film was cancelled.

It's a sad sign of our time that, in a democratic country, individuals can intimidate others into silence through fear and threats.

If it's ok for Donald Trump, who is a convicted Rapist and Felon to do it in America, it must be ok for the Chinese to do it, eh!
