How many lithium batteries does it take to make a lb?

I did, weren't they brine shrimp ?

Had some once when I was a kid. Ordered from an ad in a comic book. Really isn't much to them. All they are is just brine shrimp.

That’s some seriously false advertising.

What was the scheit that grew a little bowl of fake coral reef crap?

No, but I've seen the comic book ads.

So, are they more fun than a, say, a glass full of monkeys?

I went for the x-ray glasses .

Ghetto monkeys are better. They grow bikes every night.

No sea monkeys…

Did have the the aliens that you put in a bowl of water and they grew 100x.

Mine didn’t work, but the switchblade comb was badass!

I think Mom let me order the sea monkeys when I was about 8. I got a few to hatch. It was a big disappointment.

In high school, I took up guppy breeding. I used to raise brine shrimp by the thousands in a gallon pickle jar. As I remember, I had a 60 Watt bulb trained on the jar the shrimp would gravitate towards the light and I'd suck them up with a turkey baster. The guppies fed ravenously on them.

The things you do before discovering dating!

I grew some brine shrimp when I was a kid. Even enjoyed looking at them through my microscope. I now live where they come from - right near the Great Salt Lake. Collecting brine shrimp eggs is a multi-million dollar business here, done in the winter. It's brutally cold out there skimming the floating eggs from the surface, and the boats don't last long in that extremely salty water. They work with spotter planes that find rafts of floating eggs - they look like reddish algae - and direct the boats to them. There's hot competition among the several companies and boats to get the most the quickest.

The eggs are shipped by the ton to Asia as food for fish farms. Minus the pound or three sold as sea monkeys.

I filled out the order form and put some change in an envelope. My mom said she would mail it but since I never got the SeaMonkeys I assume she never mailed the envelope nor ever intended to. My attention span was about 5 minute back then and I’m sure I forgot about the whole affair by lunch that same day.

DAMN...

Sea Monkeys.

The random chit that pops up 24HC.

I put an avocado seed (pit?) in water once with toothpicks.

Wonder if a spud will grow the same way?

Duhh... I reckon...

I still do. Use them to feed my fish.

Yep. Brine shrimp is food for tropical fish.
