jwalsh1 Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 LOL, "octopus leapt out of the aquarium and bit him in the forehead.....fell toward the tank with the camera, breaking it" Brilliant! +10 to serazol! Link to comment
RayWhisperer Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 So much misinformation abounds.... I miss mine. Link to comment
Palpatine Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 This is definate BS. Marine Boutique do NOT ship internationally. And they got it shipped out of thailand? Why? We do not allow import of invertebrates into Australia and I do not see why they would deal with them. Aus Customs would never let it leave the country without some very specific export/import documents, and while i'm not sure about the import conditions in the US, im sure your customs agencies wouldnt let it just get mailed into the country unquestioned and without quarantine.

seahorsejl Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 oh, wow. also, does the journalist not know the difference between poisonous and venomous? that just irks me. call me a grammar nazi. I call shenanigans on the newspaper article Though talking to an aquarist who actually does keep blue rings, he said they are common hitchickers in rocks that wholesalers get (just like mantis shrimp).

seahorsejl Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Has the OP responded at all? Of course not ... isn't that how most of these thread go? Link to comment
jwalsh1 Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 It is a fake article, hence my laughter. I certainly would not have laughed had it actually occurred. Search for "fake newspaper" and youll find the link. I call shenanigans too on the topic. Link to comment
MichiganReefer Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 obviously the article is not real. Its extremely funny. "bit him in the forehead" BAHAHAHAAHA Link to comment
Marteen Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 He was online this morning. It's obvious the thread poster is just sitting back in his chair laughing about the whole thing. Link to comment
jwalsh1 Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Regardless of what he's doing, if it was fake thats a pretty nerdy and obscure prank to pull. Whatever floats your boat I guess. The article was funny though. Link to comment
DogfoodEnforcer Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 I watched a guy free dive for octopi in hawaii - he had spear and he'd dive down to the rocks and poke the spear around in some holes. When the octopus grabs the spear he'd pull it out and bit it between the eyes to kill it. So you need a stick and get ready to bite the thing in the head before it bites you. Good luck and have someone shoot video... thank you. my gf and her mom were just having a very serious conversation, and at the worst possible time i read that post, and proceeded to burst out laughing uncontrollably, slapping my palm on my leg. everyone's staring me down now...

beoks Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 i live in seattle and to keep one here or get one your suppose to get a license from the government. i talked to to the seattle aquarium and if you had one in a bag and wanted to donate it they wouldnt take it just becuase of that. i have however seen them at LFS who had one hitchhick on LR Link to comment

Mr. Fosi Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 I always thought that a successful troll was one that was able to keep all the lulz to themselves. Since people caught on as soon as the first page and most following posts were "doesn't believe" and "fials to delivar", it seems as though this troll was less than moderately successful.

Withers Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 He still got a few though. I mean, he's no jimbo, but he's probably higher in the ranking than FF Link to comment

Eh, there are two types of trolling I suppose. What you have said is one type. The other is just seeing how much of a gigantic sh## storm you can create. Link to comment
