After having read this paper I'm busy working on the replication of String Theory with a plate of Spaghetti, a packet of instant Ramen noodles and a pair of Octopuses. I would have used a single octopus but those 8 arms don't cover the 12 dimensions in String Theory. Technically a single squid might suffice - it has 8 arms, 2 tentacles and 2 fins which makes 12 - but that wouldn't be fair to the dimensions which get stuck with the fins while others get to walk away with those tentacles.
