BioJar!


  • 1 Jar
  • 2 aquarium plants
  • 2 pond snails
  • 3 Gold Barbs
  • Black and white gravel
It's day three with the fish in the jar, everything seems to be fine. They're pretty happy eating plant scum, snail egg, and tiny worms so I don't think I'll have to feed them too much. The plants ought to (hopefully) oxygenate the water, the fish poop will fertilize the plants, and the snails should help keep mold under control. I plan to change the water once a week or so, but I may not even need to.

Plastic now outweighs plankton in the world's oceans

Study: Plastic in 'Great Pacific Garbage Patch' increases 100-fold

They say in the video that there is now 48 times more plastic than plankton in the Pacific Ocean. Wow. Last I checked, plastic is not part of the food chain. And think about it: we've only been dumping plastic in the ocean for about 60 years. Probably safe to assume that in another 50-60 years there will be at least 100 times more plastic than plankton, if things don't change. Yikes.

The scientists also pointed to a previous Scripps study that found nine percent of fish had plastic waste in their stomachs. 
Almost one out of every ten fish in the ocean is eating the plastic already. 50 years from now, 1 out of 5 fish? Assuming there are still fish. 

Today's Home...Made in China


I noticed on the bottom of all my plates China has clearly outlined their plan for world domination.

Ironical isn't it?

No, I don't want my son to sleep in a wedding cake.

While trying to find a suitable crib for my as yet unborn son to sleep in, I came to a conclusion.


Most of the top selling cribs on Amazon look like wedding cakes. I can't believe people are buying these things. And making children sleep in them.
