...and they blow bubbles under water!  :-)  I have a entire fishery on
top of my computer here at home and at work: southern sting ray, eagle
ray, manta, several shark (blacktip, hammer, GW), puffer (he also
squirts), orca, octopus, two mermaids, a glow-in-the-dark jelly fish,
and my squirting cuttlefish.  Ooops, I almost forgot the poke-a-dot
squid was that planted in a gargonian by Bob for me to find during our
Cayman Aggressor trip in '99.

Strike, I don't understand it...that's often the reaction (a good
wallop!) that I get for many of my sincere gestures of good humor and
mirth.  :-)  You're welcome Sylvia! ...and don't hold back the urge,
just swing away, black and blue looks good on him!  :-)

Best regards,
