Not as good as my annual favourite, “Christian gentleman enters zoo enclosure to convert the big cats”, but in a Covid year I’ll take it.

If you want to swim in a big ass aquarium, just go to the one in Denver, they’ll let you feed all the fish you want for a fee.

Well, that whole story is fishy.

This does not make sense. If I’m following the logic correctly, this means that the deadly giant alien space probe is coming in the future. But, surely it also belongs in 2020.

Is entering enclosed agricultural lands specifically allowed in Australia? Or just a different statute?

At least it wasn’t an aquarium with orca:

Maybe he got lost?

He kinda looks like a less muscular Gerard Butler wondering if this is Sparta.

Don’t know if you still can or not, but Living Seas at Disneyworld would let you scuba dive in their giant aquarium. Of course, if you give them enough money, Dinseyworld will let you do just about anything …

I wonder if any eccentric hunters have tried to pull a “Most Dangerous Game” yet.

If “behaving in an offensive manner” is a reason for a court order, I now know why DJT doesn’t go to Oz.

I admit that my inner 10-year-old really wants to do this. But even when I was actually 10, I had enough sense to not.

I see no other function of money than to use it to do the things you want.

<socialism> For the things we need, we probably shouldn’t even use money. You should just get the things you need. </socialism>

Does being sent to provide ‘enrichment’ to the polar bears count as community service?

Yeah the Melbourne Aquarium will let you dive with the sharks for a nominal fee. My dad bought that for his GF one year, for her birthday.

Close but I would suggest our pointy tip “Queensland” is the equivalent of your low hanging fruit of Florida… something about being closer to the equator seems to attract idiots, conservatives and those waiting to pop off this mortal coil.
