Man teaches octopus to play piano

Maybe this belongs in MPSIMS, but it’s about music (kinda) and sort of even about food.

The video is 18 minutes, and well-edited.

I’m halfway through watching - fascinating.

Funny how an intermediate step was using the special speaker as a vibrator. “Taco was satisfied…and I was happy that Taco started playing piano, even if it was for…unconventional reasons.”

It’s fun, but also profound, about incentivizing longer-term goals.

I’d like to be under the sea…

“As we all know, a musician could never survive in the real world.”

I’ve shared the video with my kid’s piano teacher.

Mrs. Squid

Do you mean this? New to me. Sounds a bit like Charlotte’s Web.

But can it play the Michigan Rag?

I liked the comment about trying to get a PhD for the project

No, but that was a good find. I was thinking what would Gary Larson draw for a multi-legged piano teacher who was maybe not quite so fetching.
