Shark bait?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
This has turned into a busy little week.
I’m swamped, but here’s a video of a uniquely Atlanta experience. And if you like to learn about things the (slightly) old-fashioned way, here’s the story, with photos.

Definately NOT a good idea…….First of all, they take these beautiful creatures out of their natural habitat, then put them into a “tank” which will not allow room for them to dive, which is in their nature, and now you want to allow humans to get in with them……..stupid!!!

I really hate to say it, but it seems like the GA will do anything to make a buck. To allow inexperienced divers into a tank that has not been well known for balanced water chemistry is lunacy. I am still so angry that the GA has never owned up to killing Ralph and Norton, which is exactly what they did. Hopefully they won’t do anything so stupid again, but my confidence in their interest in the welfare of these animals is pretty low.

If they would let me fish in the aquarium. I would pay them hundreds more. I would round it up to a thousand if I could keep my catch and have it mounted.

The thing that I found most interesting about Atlanta’s Aquarium is that they show at least a thousand different species of exotic marine life, and yet do you know what they serve in the cafeteria? Fish Sticks.
How do you like that?

By The Way, R U suggesting that the Aquarium should open up a real seafood restaraunt where diners could experience the taste of whale shark, manta ray, and Beluga?
Then they’d have to get a gigantic lobster aquarium with thousands of lobsters all milling around just asking for it.
I tried to smuggle in a jar of Tartar Sauce into the Aquarium, and was banned for life.
To get even, I’m growing a worm farm and when I have a million worm army, I’m setting them all loose just a block away from the aquarium. Then we’ll see who the Big Cahoona Tuna is.
