specially when they run headlong into a sliding glass door and walk it off like they meant to do it.

Yah octopi are mad smart...

Also a more accurate mesurement is the EQ or ensephalization quotient... I butchered the spelling...

Its a measurement of the convolutions of the brain, seems the more there are the smarter animals are... also self aware, put a mirror in front of a chimp and it attacks it or tries to play with it, sometimes over long periods of time, they come to realise its just their reflections, Gorrillas picked up on it faster... Bottlenose dolphins figure it out almost immediatly, they try looking at parts of their body they cant normaly see, it was funny to watch this, they also put a spot of a fingerpaint type stuff on the dolphin and sure enough they would go right to the mirror to check it out.


Humpback whales and bottle nosed dolphins ave high EQ's comparable to humans. You dont need all that scientific crap though... Just watch and listen to them, you might learn something =)
