I'm assuming this is some sort of art exhibit. I think it's pretty cool.

And "wild caught" as opposed to the tame Octopusses, Octopi, Octo-whatever, that you see hanging around the neighborhood?

I'm pretty sure they got that effect by putting a sheet of fiberglass at the 'surface' and putting a thin layer of water onto it. Of course, that'd have to be pretty damn strong plexiglass to not bow over that span. Just my guess, but look closely at the ladder where it breaks the surface for a clue.

Xbox 360, PS3 HL2: Episode Two Delayed

By Craig Schwartz
No Half Life Two Episode Two 'til next year
Half Life Two Episode Two delayed for PS3, Xbox 360, PCWhen Valve Software CEO Gabe Newell said last month that the new Half-Life 2 would be coming out by years end for both Xbox 360 and PS3, it appears he was biting off a bit more than he could chew. Sadly, Valve has now backtracked and is shooting for the first quarter for all the platforms: Xbox 360, PS3, and PC.

Gamespot reported on this incredible bummer:

"It's just sort of classic Valve being overly aggressive on our dates," the usually tight-lipped executive told the site, referring to his company's long history of missing release dates. "But we're aiming for Q1 [2007] right now, and we're really far along in the play test stage." Attempts to directly contact Lombardi, who is currently in Europe, were unsuccessful as of press time.

Lombardi also confirmed the PC Half-Life 2: Episode Two would launch alongside the 360 edition, which Valve is developing internally, and the PS3 edition. Lombardi also told Eurogamer that the PS3 Episode Two is being codeveloped at an unnamed internal EA studio, as well as at Valve's Bellevue, Washington, headquarters.

Good things come to those who wait...we guess.

Funny.

I assumed it was incompetence, not humor. Things like that are often incompetence.
