This is strange:

Thousands of octopuses have washed up on the shore of northern Portugal and scientists are stumped about why. They’re calling it an environmental disaster, and are issuing a rather strange warning.

BBC reports that while no cause is known, officials are warning the public not to eat the animals. Because staring at thousands of mysteriously dead octopuses would cause people rush to assume they make a safe dinner?
