It's escaped!

I was walking into a campus classroom yesterday when I heard the words ring out: "There is a humoctopus in the building! He is going to suck your blood. Run for your lives." Today, in fact, one of my instructors felt the need to tell everyone that it was just a test, in case some people had been frightened.
` According to Jessie Gillespie, who was working there at the time:

"...[S]ince it was sent to all campus, it also showed up in… the President’s office, Board meeting, etc; and, even more hilariously, in the Early Childhood Learning Center, where it terrified the small children."

So the bastard didn't die after all, it only played dead. Why else would programmers find necessary to prepare innocent citizens for such an attack? Yes, I'm afraid the secret's out now. Except I must note that instead of sucking human blood it is more likely to spray dark purple ink that doesn't wash out.

You do know what this means, don't you? Time to clean up!
