USS Devilfish SS- 292 Any of several gigantic, viviparous rays found in warm seas; the octopus or other large cephalopods. Devilfish received three battle stars for World War II service, one of which was for her second war patrol, designated as "successful." www.navyhistory.com /Submarine/Devilfish.html

Cephalopods in Cinema Her pet octopus is portrayed in gigantic proportions (for a blue ring octopus) and although it kills someone in this movie, at least it is a bad guy. An arguably sympathetic octopus forms the basis of an octopus cult in the James Bond movie Octopussy, where the character Octopussy, so-named because her father was an octopus expert, runs a jewel-smuggling operation from an island of women, all tattooed with a blue-ring octopus. A woman diver is threatened by a giant octopus while she is stuck in underwater quicksand(!), but the woman and the octopus are never seen in the same scene. www.nhm.ac.uk /hosted_sites/tcp/awful.html

It Came From Beneath the Sea (1955): Kenneth Tobey, Faith Domergue, Donald Curtis - PopMatters Film Review In the case of It Came From Beneath the Sea, the enemy-du-jour is a gigantic octopus, which smashes its way across the Pacific Ocean and attacks San Francisco after atomic testing drives the creature into a mindless rage. Soldiers with flamethrowers manage to push the octopus back into the sea, where the sub does underwater battle with it in a reprise of the movie's opening scenes. Convention mandates that the eponymous nemesis -- the "it" that, in so many movies of the time, inexorably "came from" outer space or beneath the sea or some other such ponderous realm -- be so fantastically strange that the narrator must describe "it" in urgent tones verging on hushed panic. www.popmatters.com /film/reviews/i/it-came-from-beneath-the-sea.shtml

Deep Ocean Squid are members of the mollusc phylum and, along with the octopuses, belong to a group called the Cephalopoda, meaning 'head-footed', because in place of the flat 'foot' on which a snail crawls, cephalopods have a ring of long arms surrounding the mouth. In contrast to the visually impaired cirrates, one deep sea octopus has relatively enormous eyes and a remarkable array of light organs all over its body. Some of the innumerable accounts of seafarers' experiences with strange, gigantic sea creatures are undoubtedly based on misinterpretation of things such as tree trunks, whales, shallow-living sharks and other large fish swimming or floating at the surface. www.fathom.com /course/10701050/session5.html   (1447 words)

Tonight - Getting into the mix of things The decor kept close to the zoo theme with cloth-made giraffes and zebras (which also served nicely as clandestine little tents) patrolling the dancefloor, two gigantic stingrays and an even bigger octopus spanning the ceiling, against which the lights reflected.

The New York Times > Science > Ogre? Octopus? Blobologists Solve an Ancient Mystery This does in fact appear to be the end of the great blob story, a tale that began in late 1896 near St. Augustine, Fla., when two boys found a gigantic lump of white, rubbery flesh, 21 feet long, 7 feet wide and weighing perhaps 7 tons. The blob found a year ago in Chile, originally thought to be octopus remains has since been scientifically analyzed. Investigators were baffled and enthralled by a fleshy blob that washed ashore on a beach in Fortune Bay, Newfoundland, in 2001. www.nytimes.com /2004/07/27/science/27blob.html?ex=1248667200&en=db3de26bb5c38e21&ei=5090&partner=rssuserland   (812 words)

The Octopus - CHAPTER VIII Against the side of the wall unoccupied by the picture stood a sideboard of gigantic size, that once had adorned the banquet hall of an Italian palace of the late Renaissance. It was black with age, and against its sombre surfaces glittered an array of heavy silver dishes and heavier cut-glass bowls and goblets. The painting represented the personages in the Romaunt de la Rose, and was conceived in an atmosphere of the most delicate, most ephemeral allegory. www.worldwideschool.org /library/books/lit/socialcommentary/TheOctopus/chap14.html   (13308 words)

Extinction - Dino World Fun Facts Catastrophic extinction would have been caused by a sudden, external event, such as the collision of the earth with an asteroid, or the eruption of a series of gigantic volcanoes. The victims of the Cretaceous extinction included dinosaurs, ammonites (mollusks related to the octopus, and the chambered nautilus), pterosaurs, and certain plant groups.
