a Giant Octopus

well, there's a title
that i never thought i'd be writing:
A Giant Octopus.

but yes, it's true.

The Monterey Bay Aquarium (click for link)
has a Giant Octopus.
I've never been to this Aquarium, but i've
heard terrific things about it.
and, the Aquarium
has all kinds of web cams that you can
see. They are on Pacific time (GMT - 8),
so keep that in mind when you're visiting
the web cams.
Here is a link for the Web cams:

this is also a link for their podcasts.
oh, there's even a Penguin cam
& an otter cam.
(i'm sure there's a good joke in there,
but i'm not feeling
too sharp or witty right now).
