A new contraceptive!

Do you forget to take the pill? Afraid of getting fat on the shot? Don't want to cough up the money for a nuvaring? Are you not looking to have a little chicken or chickadee running around soon? If you have answered YES  to any of the above questions do I have the solution for you.  A mere one time $30.00 AUD visit to the Sydney Aquarium has a 100% birth control rate.  Why... do you ask? It promotes abstinence.  If any sexual activity can result in having one of those crazy little Aussie chiclets you will stand clear for good. 

Since it is raining koalas and kangaroos I decided to have a "quiet" "serene" day at the world renowned Sydney Aquarium.  Oddly enough, every family in New South Wales had the same exact idea.  Here is how the contraception works:
  1. Go to your local aquarium
  2. Enter at your own risk
  3. Find obnoxious family of 4 that you end up on the same schedule as who you cannot shake no matter how fast or slow you walk
  4. Watch, listen, and witness children whining.  Who thought to whine? It is a ridiculous human response to get what you want.  Nails on a chalkboard sounds like massage music compared to kids whining.  
  5. Witness 5 year old kids demanding a cup of coffee.  The parents order "baby cappuccinos". Are you serious? 
  6. Walk into a tube with clear glass to see sharks, sting rays, sea turtles and kids SCREAM due to trauma of a shark attack.  These kids will never be the same after that... I swear. 
  7. Pushing, shoving, screaming, hitting, pinching, and biting were not being done by any fishy that I saw through the glass.  It was like skinny sumo wrestling with Aussie children.  These kids are brutal. 
  8. Think about how this could be you .
  9. 100% contraception guarantee 
 The whole time I was praying to God that little Jaeger (My friends adorable son) never goes to an aquarium to lose his little gentleman soul.  There were two highlights:
1.  One little girl saw a clown fish and almost wet her pants.  NEMO! I feel bad for whatever guy she dates trying to live up to that level of expectation.
2.  A little boy from Japan grabbed his dad to take a picture in front of the octupus and what did they whip out? The peace sign.

Those were my two lifelines through the entire process.  I know that I haven't really told you about any of the fish that I had seen because I am obsessed with human behavior and I generally go to museums to talk to guards or check out their food courts.  If you didn't know this about me...now you know.

The aquarium itself was EXTREMELY impressive.  The tunnels where you can see the sharks and sting rays were the most memorizing.  The sting rays are HUGE! Bigger than your kitchen table.  Possibly the size of your dining room table.  I am not exaggerating. (Uncle Chip, you would love it here...truly.) Take a look at the slide show and you can see the tunnels. Many of the pics that I was taking the fish were either right next to me or on top of my head.   The natural salt water from the ocean flows into the tanks which is there claim to fame.  I couldn't help but feel sorry for the fish but they were beautiful nonetheless.  Here are some of the coolest pictures if you cannot see the slide show for some reason.

Still deaf.  Raining like crazy.  Busy at work.  Accidentally watched youtube for 4 hours.  I love it when that happens.

  3. Tell Goran that I did see platypuses. He said that it was such a disappointment b/c they are nocturnal and rarely come out during the day. They do exist and are pretty cool.
