A neuroscientist told The Atlantic, "We fed our octopus more than Ecstasy. How could we not?"
OCAINE:
Octopus head turned into disco ball. Subject grabbed a pretty girl in each tentacle and danced the night away.
LSD
Eyes rolled back in subject's head. Tentacles entwined into macramé ladder leading nowhere.
Valium
Octopus burrowed into sand up to head. Giggling continued unabated during Big Bang marathon.
THC
Head floated above body. Suction cups kissed as tentacles conducted invisible orchestra.
Methamphetamine
Subject counted grains of tank sand until passing out.
PCP
Octopus lit self on fire. Memoir in 2019.
