An octupus found on the bottom of the ocean in Indonesia was concluded to have been playing too much Commander Keen Secret of the Oracle.  Scientists arose at this conclusion when they saw it trying to mimick the behavior of the rock critters in the commander keen game.  The below video highlights some of the copycat behaviors of the octopus.

The rock critters from CK4.

Octopus are cephalopods and are known to be the most intelligent of invertebrates.  This video is the first documented example of an invertebrate using tools, although there are numerous examples of cephalopods exhibiting intelligent behaviors.  I guess he was pining for his ancestral days when he used to have a shell. They are distant cousins of snails, having evolved away their hard, attached houses in favor of mobility.
