  Tony, Tony, Tony.  This is *America!*  You can get a device that attaches
to your vacuum (the one you clean carpets with) to cut your hair [1] (and
the fact that the company that makes it can afford *television* advertising
means there are people here that *buy* this thing).  A fake aquarium powered
by a USB port seems tame by comparrison.
