I thought that headline would grab your attention!

The hunt is now on to find Cthulhoid agents in our seas. Scientists, under the guise of conducting innocent experiments, are now gearing up to raise Cthulhu from the depths of the ocean and the depths of our collective subconscious.

I quote:

Twenty-five octopuses will today begin twiddling a Rubik's Cube in the name of scientific research.

Marine biologists concede they have little hope of the eight-limbed sea molluscs solving the fiendish plastic puzzle. Instead, the month-long project at 23 Sea Life Centres across Britain and Europe will examine octopus intelligence in an attempt to discover if they have a favourite tentacle for picking things up – much as humans are right or left-handed.

Insider information (that won't be published in any report!) reveals that it is not just Rubik's Cubes that will be lowered into the tanks, but also various water-safe versions of the Necronomicon. If one of the octopii can manage to either solve the cube, or immanentize the eschaton, it will be a massive year for Cthulhoids the world over.

Take hope great Cthulhu-lover! Our eight-legged water bound (distant) cousins are unlikely to fall for the bait and summon any of the great old ones... Nor are they likely to solve all-blue on the Cube. Light one red and one black candle and you will remain safe.
