	weird anemone
sirbooks Moderator Sociopath Posts: 3875 Kudos: 5164 Votes: 932 Registered: 26-Jul-2004	Here's an interesting one. My mom said that a long time ago, she had a saltwater tank with an anemone and some other stuff. She said that one morning when she looked at the tank, the anemone had moved and was on the heater, melting itself!!! She moved it, but by the next morning it had done the same thing and was dead this time. The anemone melted itself to death!]:\| Is that the craziest:%) thing or what? Does anyone know what happened with the thing? And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."
