SereneScreen Deep Sea Aquarium

Fite · 01-04-2005, 09:59 AM

Hi all. I was thinking this might be a challenge for Mr Sachs. I was wondering if he/you could make a Deep Sea Aquarium to feature fish with Bioluminescence and other deep sea life. I know when I watch shows on Dicovery that I am just amazed at these types of fish. Just a thought. I just got my aquarium and I love it. Thank you Mr. Sachs for making the Marine Aquarium. Myself and my 19 month twins daughters love to watch fish. I plan to link my PC to my TV so while my girls play, instead of having normal shows on I can run the aquarium instead for them to stop on occasion to watch.

Awesome creatures. Nice pics, thanks.

I remember this request being made a long time ago. I think it would be an awesome idea, and would love to buy a screensaver like that. I can’t remember why the idea was rejected though.

Yes, that would be a nice project for somebody, but I've got my hands full for the next couple hundred years.

Looks like the 3D background just got put back a few decades!

I was hoping someone would give me a Decade-in-a-Box for Christmas, but nobody did.

Aahh! Time in a bottle. We all would like that.

Not to get esoteric on you, Jim, but a rumor I heard is not to have more time to move through space with, but to simply take a moment of time and expand the existing moment...

Jim Sachs · 01-05-2005, 02:08 PM

OK, I'll try that.

Marian Nichols · 01-05-2005, 02:30 PM

Let me know if it works.

Funny... I've tried that over the past ten years or so. Unfortunately, I think it's also tied to the "expanding universe" theory. And I have proved for myself (each time I step on the bathroom scale), that my universe is definately expanding. Also most unfortunately time has not dialated at the same rate.

I like what Steven Wright once said. "I like to take some time each day and just 'forget about it'. That way at the end of the year I have a couple of days to myself."

Great stuff.

Mr. Wright also came up with the idea of making instant coffee in the microwave – aparently the doubled instantness made him go back in time...

Thanks to Morgan, Tiny Snapshots is up and running again with "Tiny Järvafält" as the latest addition – Go have a look and tell me what you think. "We knew the world would not be the same. A few people laughed, a few people cried, most people were silent. I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita. Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty and to impress him takes on his multi-armed form and says, 'Now, I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.' I suppose we all thought that, one way or another." /Robert Oppenheimer on witnessing the first thermonuclear detonation in history.
