The only way is by, 'calling it a day', - but I don't recommend it, it's difficult to then say, "I told you so!".

Alrighty!! Congrats, Yodelking!!
You too, Jim.

I thought it was a matter of faith, but if you need proof, I dunno, I guess one proof is as good as another. /Tiny doubter Nothing Changes if Nothing Changes. |

Yeah, but then there's the Babelfish, isn't there?! It's so mind-bogglingly useful that there's no way it could have evolved by accident, so it proves the existence of God. So given that He exists by faith alone, therefore, by his own arguments, he doesn't!
Stand back for God to vanish in a puff of logic. Blind faith which is not based on some measure of evidence gets you into very dangerous waters and seems to lead almost always to fanaticism, which is always, always bad.

I suppose, for those of little faith. I don't suppose you remember ever believing once upon a time in Santa Clause or the Tooth Fairy or the Easter Bunny or clapping for TinkerBell? And how that changed when you got "educated" / "enlightened" ... Nothing Changes if Nothing Changes. |

We're skirting the edge of forum rules here, not to mention that this is the wishlist thread. Back on topic please.

You know, a jellyfish would be a really cool addition for the extras.

Moray eels are generally too big and dull-colored for this Aquarium, but a Ribbon Eel is planned.

Blommers,
Good opinions but not really proof. What's the difference between a cult and a religion again? Size? Minnie, It wasn't me who said there were proof available (but yes I would require proof before jumping aboard). Jim, That's going to stump, Mike. Isn't the Dragon Moray pretty un-dull? Also, I read this about morays - Pretty cool. Somewhat like in the Alien movies. 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.

Tiny,
Yeah probably, but oh well c'est la vie. But I'm still holding out slight hope.
