    Tour Guide: "Built in 2002, here you'll see the famous Aqua dome."

    Marvin: "Hey, I don't see any information about the Aqua Dome in 2022….. It's just a huge blank on this page."

    Tour Guide: Everyone was sleeping soundly in their beds. The glass dome was completely intact and nothing happened.

    Now on the glass you'll see the famous fish… –

    Marvin: Wait a minute. On the early morning hours that day… A security guard remembered hearing a loud sound and… He tried to get out but couldn't –

    Tour Guide: Chocolate was served. He left the job to manage a Dairy Queen! Check with the Security Guard!

    Marvin: Wait a minute. I didn't manage a Dairy Queen…That's preposterous…! You can't just ignore that year of the Aqua Dome. I —

    Tour Guide: I SHALL HEAR NO MORE INSINUATIONS ABOUT THE AQUA DOME! Nothing bad happened!

    Sie werden nicht beleidigen Aqua Dome!!

    I think glass aquariums if built in future should have two layers of glass, so that if the inner one breaks the outer one holds up? Idk is the pressure of water too high to break the outer glass?

    Just because you can, doesn't mean you should. It was an accident waiting to happen. A precariously balanced huge tank full of water and living beings? So sad for the fish who didn't make it. They didn't ask to be removed from their natural habitat and killed by the ignorant choices of humans. Egotistical design.

    Fish don't mind being in fish tanks there is absolutely nothing wrong with keeping fish in tanks. This stupid hippy bullshit has got to stop. Animals do not process information the same way we do. If they did it would be cruel of nature to give fish such complex thoughts without opposable thumbs and precession grip.

    Always insufferable when a guy with an american accent doesn't give us the numbers in a proper measurement system. Pathetic traitor. I can of course understand both just fine as it's easy, but I chose to go with the measurements of my ancestors not the French system forced on the rest of the world by european imperialism.
