No, they're murder sticks. My coworkers spent the day looking up youtubes of mantis shrimp beating the fuck out of octopi, clams, crabs in test tubes, slow moving researchers, etc.

And aquariums

I can thank Atheos for also spending an afternoon reading and watching videos about the mantis shrimp, their eyesight and their murder sticks.

I stepped into a classroom when I was the teacher's aide, she turned to me, "You'll know! What's the plural of moose?"

"Um... " I looked left, I looked right, "Holy shit, there's a moose everywhere you look!"

Depends on how you want it to be spelled in fifty years. If you want English to be easy for children and international users, go with "aquariums."

If you want your language to be easy for children and international users, speak a designed language, like Esperanto or Klingon.

It still raises my hackles to see "indexes" in the newspaper.

I am a flagrant user of "indexes."
