Calculating Volume and Weight

a blackout freak out
         cube freezer and a fish tank

           mouth to mouth to mouth

Maybe revival via "hand to mouth." I appreciated your thoughts on MATTER. Brought my comment 2 u: "ThanX Maureen, U probably hear that "stuff" in the universe, even BLACK HOLES - largest with greatest gravity measured - have "nothing". As I wrote b4, "NOTHING means no THING" not "nothing at al." What we call "nothing" is SPACE, the very canvas, or BACKGROUND on which the stars & galaxies are laid out. Not easy to grasp but your intuition will get you there & beyond. shalom shalOM."

My dad used to have these fish in his tank called "Kissing Gourami". They would open their mouths real wide and appear to kiss each other. I always thought they were trying to give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation... it's believed that it is more of an aggressive behaviour, like staking out its territory. Enjoyed your write, especially liked your clever title ~ John

Those look like funny fish! Fortunately my 2 goldfish and pleco are safe and I'm not dizzy from blowing bubbles (they're in a pretty big tank) ;), Have a lovely day John. ~mo

Perhaps some mad scientist antics going on here ;)

Lol! I wrapped the freezer in sheep skins and wished I had a winding egg beater for the fish tank ;), xomo!

Always a surprise with you... (if I tried resuscitating a fish, especially a tiny one, I'd fear accidentally swallowing the poor thing .... not a pleasant thought).

Fortunately, nobody had to get their lips wet. ;),

Oh boy, resuscitating a fish...can't be pleasant.

No mouth to mouth ;), you gently move them forwards and backwards in water. (phew!) xomo

Ooooooooooooooooh I am picturing an open mouthed kiss with a dead fish for some odd reason.

...they were eventually rehomed to a big pond. :),

LOL! Fortunately, the outage resolved quicker than they said, the fish and the freshly stocked freezer are fine. Did have to revive the koi, the night we brought it home it escaped the tank. Lost all it's fins. It was freaked out. I figured out it had tried to get to where the water was coming from because it had no fellow koi, just 2 goldfish; I got another koi and it followed her around, relearning how to be a koi. They are social animals, need their own kind. xomo
