I think it's important to note that this page may be updated far more than once a day, or far less. In any case, this is the forum for the good men and women of alltooflat to easily and quickly post whatever they think might be interesting to onlookers.

To a certain extent I hope you enjoy it, but to be perfectly honest it's not the foremost thing on my mind.

" Look, people - I know you all get a feeling burning inside of you when you look at the fish experiment and see the piles of dead fish. And as soon as the rage builds up enough, you want to dash off a scathing email deprecating our intelligence. We've gotten comments which range from questioning our methods to questioning our parentage. First of all, get over yourselves. They are goldfish. Even if we were killing them off one by one in the most painful ways you can kill goldfish (I heard electroplating them really gets their goat. Actually, that would be really funny: if you did it right, you could get golder-fish), they really wouldn't mind that much. We only hate misery because we remember it (I refer you to Heinlein's book ""The Cat Who Walked Through Walls"" for a discussion of the Lethe field as medical anesthetic), and goldfish have been shown to have a memory which lasts under three minutes.. Second of all - our symbol is a fish. We love fish. We put them in our coffee. Do you really think we would be so cruel as to drown them in their own filth? Check the disclaimer at the bottom of the page, it wasn't kidding. No goldfish were harmed, etc etc."
