From Michael Legge
I was delighted to read about gloomy octopuses throwing things (29 August, p 14). Over 40 years ago, diving in Canada’s Georgia Strait, I happened upon an octopus in a rock crevice. It bombarded me with abalone shells. The aim was excellent: they all bounced off my face mask.
Many whom I told thought I was confabulating. Now, thanks to you, my credibility is restored.
