    why not?

    • transistor09 says:

      It may grab your privates

      • KinkyTom says:

        In soviet Russ-

        *grabbed by octopus*

        • transistor09 says:

          How did it feel?

        • silencer07 says:

          *Helps KinkyTom but instead mistakenly flashed the toilet*

          • toilet shark says:

            Hey, enough with the bright lights, I’m trying to sleep down here!

            • jinxed says:

              ‘Fun Fact’

              When you go to sleep, you can’t see. The optical and logic side of your brain shuts down. So no bright lights are going to wake you up if your asleep.

              • toilet shark says:

                I’m a toilet shark – I don’t “sleep” the same way that humans do, my brain just kind of goes into a sort of shut-down mode, and I just circle the bowl very slowly. This is an evolutionary trait developed by toilet sharks, in case someone gets a bad case of the food guilts in the middle of the night and decides to empty that entire tub of triple-choc ice-cream they bought on the way home from work into the loo – I can instantly be “awake” again to scavenge the ice cream.

                If I fall asleep with my eyes open, any moving objects from reality actually within my vision field just interweave into my dreamworld version of anything not moving.

                Real world objects have a slight blended motion and temporal skipping effect along with their perceived spacial versus temporal skew being approximately two thirds less rate of motion than that of anything of-which is fabricated within my dream state.

                I have a hunch that the nature of the temporal skipping involved is simply due to the skew between real world and dreamworld becoming too great.

        • Droll not Troll says:

          You don’t need tentacles around your testicles.

          • the cat says:

            Says you.

          • dr handle says:

            Unless you are an informed, consenting, of-age octopus who is with a similarly qualified partner, in which case what a pair of intimately acquainted octopi get up to in their private lives is really not anyone else’s business.

      • Exiled says:

        in general or by some particular reason?

      • Droll not Troll says:

        Because the octopus believes in corporal punnishment.

    • JohnB says:

      It’s simple-you’d be playing a losing game. You’d flash one thing at him, and then he’s got 8 tentacles, all of which are likely to be bigger than your appendage. So unless you’re John Octo-Holmes, keep it zipped!

    Happy New Year guys and gals!

  3. druck says:

    i’m quite sure where it is, i believe it’s the aquarium in bergen, norway

  4. ShadowSplicer says:

    Dang! I was just going to send this pic in too…… :cry:

  5. MolaMola says:

    This is from the Monterey Bay Aquarium in Monterey, California. This picture has been posted several times on this site; I guess it never gets old. This is an attempt by the aquarium to be funny but also attention-getting, so people realize that a camera flash will hurt the octopus. They aquarium similarly restricts flash cameras when there is a white shark on display. Anyway, the next time you are at an aquarium, please remember to deactivate your flash when snapping the octopus! :) By the way, the aquarium is incredible and I recommend it to anyone who loves sea life (PS I don’t work at the aquarium, but I am a frequent visitor and fan)

  6. It's a Japanese thing... says:

    If you do, tentacle rape is imminent.

  7. la conejita says:

    I’m sure that if the acquarium had an octopussy, men would want a flash.

  8. ThetaSigma says:

    You know, this is really only going to encourage me…

  9. lexan D says:

    …but you should expose yourself to art.

  10. dr handle says:

    Octopus has recently had a hernia operation – if you flash Octopus and she starts laughing, she may break his sutures. So while Octopus enjoys a laugh at your expense as much as the next person, please do not flash; it’s hard enough on her that we’ve had to confiscate her Fawlty Towers DVDs until her stitches come out.

  11. latzakw says:

    DR OCTACANAPUS!!!!!!!!!!! BLAAAAAAA!!!!

  12. Fanboy Wife says:

    The octopus is such a prude!

  13. OD says:

    is it me or does it look like there is a penis in the tank

  14. Atilla says:

    First thing that came to my mind was “don’t program the octopus”. Such a nerd I am…

  15. Lila says:

    Aquarium WIN!

  16. isawtheflashtheoctosaign says:

    i have actually been here. its in either san fransico san diego or pheonix aquariums. i went to all three over summer

  17. isawtheflashtheoctosaign says:

    and the penis thing is a piece of fake coral

    • isawtheflashtheoctosaign says:

      i just teh monteray aquarium post. i forgot i went there when i went to san fran and san diego

  18. Chloe says:

    haha i saw that and my friend was like, chloe read the sign!!!!!! :P

  19. LOLing says:

    Please people, don’t make fun of this earnest sign. This is obviously an attempt to put an end to the dreaded Tentacle Rape! This hardworking sign is just trying to remove temptations for the poor octopus. The poor thing probably came from Japan. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

    XD

  20. Phitties says:

    This is from the Galveston Aquarium in Galveston Texas USA.
