    I say buy a whole bunch of them and release them into the wild. The aquatic equivalent of fireflys. Too awesome.

    Just don't make any with frickin' laser beams, and I think we'll be just fine.

    Why does the Center for Food Safety want to regulate my aquarium? How broke do they think I am?

    I've been to drunken parties, but no amount of alcohol has made me want to file a patent. *shudder*

    I can see the adverts now:

    One Fish, Two Fish
    Red Fish, Blue Fish

    Wouldn't you like
    A mutant GloFish?
