A customer of mine was telling me about her kidney stone, and we were discussing it, and pain in general, and I told her that George Clooney had a kidney stone, so they have something in common. She went on her way, and then later I remembered that George Clooney didn't have a kidney stone, he was leaking cerebrospinal fluid from his brain, or something like that. It was actually William Shatner who had the kidney stone. I remember it now, because I can hear Shatner in my head - "The pain... It was... Excruciating..." I wonder if the customer would mind?

One of our clown fish is missing!

Marine Man has arrived to take care of our tank. I'm horrified to discover that one of our corals has an infestation of carnivorous nudibranchs. Eurgh! It is kind of cool to have our own Star Trek nasties, but *ew*. Marine Man, in an act of marine dentistry, is scraping them off the coral. We don't know what happened to the clown, but it wasn't the carnivorous nudibranchs, as they're still quite small. Baby Cthulhu grows apace, but it wasn't him either, because you can see right through him, and I can't see a clown fish trapped in there. Marine Man has no answers either. Maybe he went on an amazing journey, to find his father, just like in the movie, except that we're a good 10 km from the shore so that probably didn't end well.
