It Came from Beneath the Sea

I found some more sweet International Cephalopod Awareness Day related content.





Without a surrounding mass of water to offset the internal pressure of its tentacles, the giant octopus in It Came from Beneath the Sea would suffer crippling--and possibly fatal--hemorrhaging.


This and more monster movie moments are deconstructed in The Biology of B-Movie Monsters.

Fortunately there is good news for those who celebrate Octopus Day: You will be eaten first.
