  1. The Sea Life aquarium in Helsinki, Finland does the same.

    Finally we have found a 100% renewable and pollution-free source of electricity.

    True. Of course, the piranha clean up after themselves, even after having fresh side of Helga Brandt.

    Baron Frankenstein had that one covered a long time ago. All it takes is a good thunderstorm.

    cheers
