WOW! That's amazing. I read on another site that parents will generally eat the blue fry. Apparently it is viewed as a sign of weakness. Interesting view.

juan, deep ocean is just a figure of speech; cause it glows in the dark.

Marc Ryan	» posted 2007/10/16 03:53 am
That's a shame, she sure was a nice looking Festae. How big is the Mana now? Got a picture?

Fry Guy	» posted 2007/10/16 03:59 am
