These bricks (oops&amp;hellip; shoes) are the highest I have come across. Not sure about the reason behind wearing those, would be interesting to know how much they weigh.

&lt;p&gt;Menu at King of Krung Siam Thai Restaurant, Mountain View. They have amongst the strangest (funniest) item names I have come across since a long time. Where else can you order &amp;ldquo;Ocean Girls&amp;rdquo; at a restaurant ;)

It is also a precursor of my ultimate target to get a dog.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So I dragged 2 of my friends to a store called &amp;ldquo;Seascapes&amp;rdquo; in mountain view. I wanted to start small.. just 1 fish in a hassle-free container. The lady there was very helpful, and patiently answered all the random questions we shot at her.&lt;/p&gt;</description><content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;Inspired by the goldfish in &amp;ldquo;Me, You and Everyone We Know&amp;rdquo;, and having nothing better to do on a rainy sunday afternoon, I decided to buy a fish.

&lt;p&gt;Finally, we ended up buying a nice bright strawberry colored &amp;ldquo;Male Betta&amp;rdquo; fish. Bettas are one of the few fishes that can survive in a small tank. They breath the oxygen from air, so don&amp;rsquo;t need a filter in the tank. They also are &amp;ldquo;loners&amp;rdquo;, will actually fight till death if 2 of them are kept together.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;After an extremely strong and threatening recommendation from a friend, the fish has been named &amp;ldquo;Splash&amp;rdquo;. In the last 20 hours, he has been pretty active. He immediately eats the food dropped in the pot (will upload a video soon). He is expected to live around 5 years under normal circumstances, am looking forward for that.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Here are some pics for your viewing pleasure&amp;hellip;&lt;/p&gt;
