953 nut

 

National Sea Monkey Day falls on May 16 every year to celebrate these little creatures. Sea Monkeys were created in a lab many years ago but since then they’ve become a common household pet. Many of us have happy memories of awaiting the delivery of our first Sea Monkeys in the mail. They are really popular with children and adults alike and, at one point, they were even heavily marketed by comic books.

One of my cousins got the Sea Monkey kit for his birthday. My uncle said one package had eggs in it, the other had    :hide:    Well, you know,        male emissions.

He said it was the world's smallest peep show.

On the radio this morning they were saying these things can live for up to 3 years. When I was raising brine shrimp they never lived for more than a day or two after hatching.

 

I wonder if it was because I kept feeding them to my other fish.

Yep! Or making forts from bales of hay in the loft of the barn, catchin' bull frogs with red cloth and a hook, or hunting rabbits along the abandoned rail road tracks.
