NATURE. The Octopus Show. A Legend of the Deep PBS But the over 250 known species of octopuses appear to have completely lost their hard parts, evolving instead into a firm but flexible sack of tissues. It follows the efforts of Mike DeGruy, a dedicated wildlife photographer, to capture these acrobatic but often shy animals on film, both in a laboratory-built "octopus gymnasium" and in the wild, deep sea. But all are based on a remarkable real animal: the octopus. www.pbs.org /wnet/nature/octopus/legend.html   (376 words)

NATURE. The Octopus Show PBS A new age of ocean exploration is lifting the veil of mystery shrouding a creature of legend -- the octopus. With footage of octopus species rarely, if ever, seen before -- including one with giant eyes and another with antennae in place of suction cups -- NATURE takes viewers into the deepest realms of the ocean for a front-row view of THE OCTOPUS SHOW. Dreaded by sailors through the ages, this other-worldly looking denizen of the seas is surrendering the astonishing secrets that have brought it almost mythical status. www.pbs.org /wnet/nature/octopus   (152 words)

NATURE. The Octopus Show. A Legend of the Deep PBS Then there is the blue-ringed octopus of Australia and the South Pacific, which is noteworthy for another reason: its venom is deadly poison. Researchers believe the North Pacific octopus -- known to science as Octopus dofleini -- may grow to over 30 feet long and weigh 100 pounds. And when it comes time to mate, some octopuses advertise the fact with bright flashes of color sure to attract a partner. www.pbs.org /wnet/nature/octopus/legend2.html   (328 words)

Paul Jackson : Black Octopus - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect Something of a lost funk legend, Black Octopus was recorded by bassist Paul Jackson during a 1978 tour of Japan with Herbie Hancock's Headhunters, but didn't see an American release until more than two decades later. Of the four additions, which nearly double the album's running time, the instrumental "T-Bolt" is probably closest to what would have been expected from a Jackson solo effort, its tasteful fusion a descendant of Hancock's '70s work. Yet if Black Octopus' musical tentacles occasionally reach beyond their grasp, the overall result is still an essential for any savvy DJ or fusion fan. www.artistdirect.com /nad/store/artist/album/0,,1057678,00.html   (283 words)

Xmuzik's Mind Boggling Blog: the truth about Japanese tentacle rape porn (hentai) Although it is now possible to show scenes that are a lot more graphic, tentacle sex has a strong following today and in the anime world, Maeda’s ‘pioneering’ work, Urotsuki Doji (Legend of the Overfiend) is considered a classic of sorts. Although most people think that tentacle sex is something that could only have come from the mind of a 20th century illustrator, there have been sexual images involving octopi in Japan for almost 200 years. Hokusai’s Octopus paintings are said to be the inspiration for modern tentacle sex, but his works were not violent, and the women in the Amorous Octopus seems to be quite enjoying herself, unlike the girls in modern hentai anime. xmuzik.blogspot.com /2005/07/truth-about-japanese-tentacle-rape.html   (283 words)

TONMO.com Forums - View Single Post - Myth, Legend, and Symbolism Yeah, I remember reading an old Polynesian or Hawaiian legend about a greedy shark who nearly gets himself killed by a lazy octopus reef guardian who puts the squeeze on shark (literally) for waking him up from his nap. However, one day he meets his master, the giant octopus, guardian of the reef. In Fijian mythology the Shark-God is the scourge of the fishermen, eating their fish as well as the men who fall overboard. www.tonmo.com /forums/showpost.php?p=2089&postcount=24   (262 words)

The Rag Doll In time, the legend of the Rag Doll grew far and wide. Their goal was to comprise a strike team to capture the Rag Doll and two send to others, Hourman and Dr. Mid-Nite, to thwart the Rag Doll's crimes of the evening, Finding the Rag Doll surrounded by followers, the Flash, Green Lantern and Starman swatted the followers aside and swiftly cornered the aging super-villain. While the JSA listened to the Rag Doll's discourse, the villain strained his limbs to slip free of his bonds and as the heroes seemed lulled, made a quick break for the door. my.execpc.com /~icicle/RAGDOLL.html   (1797 words)

Chilean 'blob' may be giant octopus -- or just blubber A 13-ton, 40-foot-long bloblike carcass discovered along the southern coast of Chile last week is being heralded around the world as possible proof of the fabled "Octopus giganteus," a massive species of octopus that until now had been the stuff of legend. The biggest Giant Pacific octopus (Octopus dofleini) found here was only 10 feet shy of the Chilean blob, he noted, and it weighed less than 500 pounds. The report out of Chile says the tissue found weighs 13 tons, he said, which means it's unlikely to be an octopus. seattlepi.nwsource.com /national/129443_blob04.html   (1797 words)

Legend of Zelda - The Chaos Glass - chapter nine A group of pigs appeared to be playing cards on the corner, taking drinks from the tray of a floating octopus. Nabooru quickly recovered, sliding into a side passage, listening to the main gates of the city open, creeping closer as the sounds of rumbling wheels and marching feet shook the ground beneath her feet. Nabooru continually had to balance out her amazement – and amusement – at the changes that had taken place in Hyrule with the proper amount of worry for her friends. eukaryotic.dreamhost.com /NewFiles/zelda9.html   (1797 words)

Comic Book Resources - Comic Book News, Reviews and Commentary - Updated Daily! And it must be said, whoever came up with Spider-Man originally must have been watching a lot of Marlin Perkins' "WILD KINGDOM": Spider-Man, The Beetle, The Vulture, Hammerhead, Dr. Octopus, The Kangaroo...I'm vaguely surprised that they never got around to The Crimson Wallaby and Professor Sea Slug. Commentary by ODDBALL COMICS guest-columnist GAIL SIMONE - Hey, I love Silver Age comics as much as anyone, but sometimes you just have to scratch your head and wonder aloud what in the WORLD these creators were smoking when they thought up some of these characters.

Hotels in Hydra island - Saronic Gulf Islands - Greek island hotels - Greek Islands In this case the legend says that a huge serpent, which appeared and caused them catastrophe by his enormous appetite, upset the peaceful life of Hydra's shepherds. Hydra is famous for its fish and sea-fruits, because it is rocky with deep, clear water and surrounded by small islands: Lobsters, shrimps, squid, octopus, cod and red mullet are the usual catch. The island of Hydra, in the Argosaronic gulf, close to the Eastern coast of Peloponnesian is one hour away -35 miles- by Hydrofoil from Piraeus. www.angelica.gr /hydra.html   (2205 words)

20000 leagues under the sea - The Legend of the Giant Octopus Olaus Magnus in the 17th century was archbishop of Uppsala in Sweden and collected lots of stories from the nordic fishermen. It seems probable, that, if he did not see one himself, Olaus Magnus at least spoke to fishermen who had seen a giant octopus. Though this octopus is quite large, it does not reach Olaus Magnus' octopus's size. www.weichtiere.at /Mollusks/Kopffuesser/krake.html   (813 words)

Shapeshifting - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Shapeshifting is not considered scientifically or medically possible for humans (and animal shapeshifting is not any more extensive than that of the octopus, simply contorting body shape), but it is a common theme in myth and legend and a popular theme in science fiction and fantasy stories. Shapeshifting can be a rich symbolical and narrative tool and shapeshifting fiction has been around at least since the days of ancient Greece. It is worthy to note that while the popular idea of a shapeshifter is of a human being who turns into something else, there are numerous myths about animals that can transform themselves as well. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Transmogrification   (740 words)

Shapeshifting - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Shapeshifting is not considered scientifically or medically possible for humans (and animal shapeshifting is not any more extensive than that of the octopus, simply contorting body shape), but it is a common theme in myth and legend and a popular theme in science fiction and fantasy stories. Popular shapeshifting creatures in myths and legends are werewolves and vampires (mostly of European, Canadian, and Native American/early American origin), the fox spirits or were-foxes of East Asia (including the kitsune of Japan), and the gods, goddesses, and demons of numerous mythologies, such as Loki from Norse mythology or Proteus from Greek mythology. Although shapeshifting to the form of a wolf is specifically known as lycanthropy, and such creatures who undergo such change are called lycanthropes, those terms have also been used to describe any human-animal transformations and the creatures who undergo them. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Shapeshifting   (695 words)

Dakuwaqa - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia An octopus attacked and defeated Dakuwanga, forcing Dakuwanga to promise to never attack the island of Kadavu again.

Amazon.ca: DVD: Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas (Widescreen Dub Sub) An exciting battle at sea with a monstrous "crab-octopus", an awesome excursion through siren-infested waters, and a rollicking (if overlong) encounter with a snow eagle are three of the major scenes involving the melding of traditional animation with CGI effects. Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas is one of the best adventure films you'll ever see even if it is an animated film. Like the first DreamWorks animated effort The Prince of Egypt, Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas tells a more emotionally complex tale than the average Disney film. www.amazon.ca /exec/obidos/ASIN/B0000C8AS7   (1327 words)

USS Argonaut - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia United States Navy have borne the name USS Argonaut, after a relative of the octopus -- sometimes called the paper nautilus -- which propels itself underwater by expelling a jet of water. Of course, the name is ultimately derived from the band of heroes in Greek legend who sailed with Jason in the ship Argo to retrieve the Golden Fleece. The name Argonaut may also have been inspired by the submarine of that name built in 1897 by Simon Lake that was the first submarine to navigate extensively in the open sea. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/USS_Argonaut   (205 words)

The DVD Journal Quick Reviews: Tarzan, the Ape Man Jane, it turns out, has a penchant for getting attacked by animals, and, later, Tarzan is forced to rescue her again, this time from an anaconda that he wrestles in a series of endless dissolves that compares unfavorably to Bela Lugosi struggling with a rubber octopus in Ed Wood Jr.'s Bride of the Monster. As the party heads out into the wild, they begin to hear stock Tarzan sound cues, which occasions Harris's relating in hushed tones the legend of an enormous white ape that just might be an actual man (and 100 feet tall, at that). That's how long director John Derek waits to show off his wife Bo's "perfect ten" body in the allegedly erotic Tarzan, the Ape Man (1981), a film of thorough, unremitting ineptitude that treats Edgar Rice Burroughs's famed pulp creation like a service station urinal cake. www.dvdjournal.com /quickreviews/t/tarzantheapeman.q.shtml   (454 words)

THE POLYNESIANS: OCEANIC NOMADS OF THE PACIFIC By Tani Jantsang Legend there has Tangaroa leading a revolt against other gods and being cast into the ocean: a giant octopus imprisoned in the ocean!! The Tahunas (Kahunas) or Native Priests preserved the oral doctrine in the religious origin of what they called by varied sounds: Maui, Mau, Muo, and Mu, as the name of an "ancient sunken land" that they say sank beneath the waves. Note: throughout the Pacific, letters become interchanged, such as "l" and "r", "t" and "k", "n" and ng," and sounds drop out, so that the same deity often has varied names, e.g.: Tangaroa, Tanaroa, Tanaloa, Kanaloa and even Taroa. www.geocities.com /satanicreds/polynes-mythos.html   (8457 words)

Shapeshifting - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Shapeshifting is not considered scientifically or medically possible for humans (and animal shapeshifting is not any more extensive than that of the octopus, simply contorting body shape), but it is a common theme in myth and legend and a popular theme in science fiction and fantasy stories. Some animals, particularly octopuses, are able to change their body shape and color to mimic other creatures and objects, for camouflage or to hide in narrow spaces.
