RE: HOT Magnum filter

["Darcey Harding" <darceyh@drizzle.com>]

Now THERE's a business. Lifting the curse off of cursed tanks! Just imagine the
Ghostbusters-style yellow pages ad.

The organization Plant Amnesty has a "Father Weedo Sarducci" that they bring to
their plant sales.  Maybe what we need is a fake religious figure who can swoop
in save cursed tanks.

Sounds like the tank is cursed! Maybe sterilize it and anything associate with
it with bleach water? Except the fish, of course.
