$200 million Georgia Aquarium

The big deal here in Atlanta now is the opening of the Georgia Aquarium. $200+ million for over 100,000 fish, a bunch of sharks and a few whales. It is supposed to be the largest aquarium in the world, with its largest tank (sorry, "marine habitat") holding over 6 million gallons of water with glass two feet thick. The plastic latex that lines the glass costs $8 million alone! Imagine people a dead fi ‘ungry in a dis ya America and hundreds of homeless in downtown Atlanta, and dis is what dem bring come gi we?!?
The founder of Home Depot, Arthur Blank, came up with the plan and most of the money. Him must really love fish! It was on the Today Show this morning, and even though it is kind of pricey it is apparently sold out for the next few weeks. I can’t even log on to their website now because they are receiving too much traffic.
Don’t get me wrong, I man love watch (and eat) fish too, and from what I hear the place suppose to well kris, with nuff educational dis and dat for the kids. But dat is some serious money!
Anyway for those of us in Uncle Sam country, enjoy the Thanksgiving Holidays, stuff yourself, and stay lazy as Monday will be back sooner than you think!
