Wade- I do see your point, but if it was just a joke then he went way to far, im doing a paper in my computer class and i honestly thought it was real till i really started to look into it, i could have gotten an F because of his “joke” or watever he considers it, but yes i do see your point.

I am really glad to see all the comments on this article from young people. (At least I assume they’re from young people.) But I think some of you need to read the article a little more closely. The whole point is that the tree octopus is a fake, but a fake that’s presented in a convincing package. The way I see it, the creator of the site (Lyle Zapato) intended it as as a pure joke on one level, but maybe also as a way to test the credulity of his readers and explore the boundaries between truth and fiction. So, stop complaining that it’s “fake” or it’s a “rumor” — that is the point!
