Why is this cool?

 This is not a paper, but a correspondence, but it is still absurdly amazing! The researchers observed octopi carrying around coconut half shelfs!
"So what?"
 You may not have realized this, but tool use is an indicator of cognition 2.0 and has never, NEVER, been observed in cephalopods! Those dang octopi are up to serious mental boosting, because they have utilized a coconut for survival! Octopi in Northern Sulawesi and Gilimanuk, Bali were observed carrying the shells and using them for shelter. They were even able to observe an octopus finding coconut half shells and use them as shelter and then carry them off!
 Those octopi are pretty smart, but can they do MAGIC? I didn't think so. That is why octopi have to worship their EVIL GOD: SHUMA-GORATH!!!

 As far as bad-ass characters go, Shuma-Gorath tops the list and then writes a new one where it is still on top! It can do pretty much anything, except best Dr. Strange in any kind of battle. That ol' former Sorcerer Supreme is a wily one with all sorts of tricks up his sleeve.
 Ok, so you know how Dr. Strange is no longer the Sorcerer Supreme? And then Agamotto came and reclaimed his eye only to be defeated by the New Avengers? Well, did you notice that he was really worried about something coming. Something so powerful that even Agamotto needed more power! I think that it is SHUMA-GORATH!!! In case, you are not aware how powerful Agamotto is, know that he fought Galactus and held his own. So, you know something awesome is coming.
