Octopuses can get erections, US researchers have discovered. They are the first soft-bodied animal found to have erectile tissue.
Just thought I'd share this from my current issue of Nature Science Update. Believe me, most of the updates I get aren't quite this suggestive. I just thought, in the general scheme of things, how strange to imagine a gelatinous creature achieve something that's totally foreign to the rest of his body! (The term inflatable organ made me laugh!)
You won't think of octopus quite the same way again...
