Octopus bite

A couple weeks ago we hung out on Lake Boca. We met a woman who had a hand seadoo and was exploring life in the lake. She mentioned that she found an octopus and our curiosity led her to get it and bring it back to us. We saw her hold it like it was a baby and slithering on her chest. Naturally, when she asked if we wanted to hold it we hesitated, but our curiosity again got the best of us. I held it and it was so neat until it started to sting/bite me. The tentacles weren't bad, it was it's head that came down like a needle each time it bit me. Really cool.
