Why Are the Octosquids Cutting Our Cables?

Ars Technica weighs in, talking about four to five cables cut. They claim that it's just a coincidence ...

The conspiracy theory explanation, while just slightly more plausible than "OMGPONIES," has absolutely no independent evidence to back it up. Whatever else the Trilateral Commission, Illuminati, Big Pharma, Al Qaeda, vaccination campaigns, and the Easter Bunny might be plotting at this moment, they just don't seem to be planning a major assault on the Middle East's ability to watch illicit American Idol broadcasts, conduct business, or surf the Arabic equivalent of YouTube.

Multiple undersea cables cut all at once?

It's an attack. Or a practice run for a larger attack.

It's just tentacle envy and the dumb beasts can't tell the difference between a real tentacle and an undersea cable.

It's a conspiracy, i tell you, a conspiracy.

But you all already knew that.

Of course, we are in league with *them*.

it's just plain old octopi.. pusses.. whatever. they're probably tapping into our communications to learn where the best crab fishing is.

see this one opens jars and likes 'playing' with screwdrivers... little 8-armed punk probably boosted my hubcaps.
