I want an EcoSphere

[Mockery]

So who's gonna buy me it? HUH?

[glowbelly]

I WANT ONE OF THOSE TOO

[MetalMilitia]

So its like your own world that you can rule over with an iron fist?

sounds pretty cool i guess, you could be all like "FINE IF YOU WILL NOT BUILD ZE FACTORIES I WILL NOT PUT YOU IN LIGHT FOR 2 DAYS"

But i would think the shrimps would grow too big after a while and have to eat eachother to stay alive then there would just be one really fat shrimp floating in a load of plants which would not be very cool.

Some of those are egg-shaped. What a bunch of scam artists.

[FS]

it just looks like a dead branch is a ball full of sterile water

[Anonymous]

It's that kind of attitude that got FS kicked out of the Sierra Club.

[Ninjavenom]

It's like a real-life God simulator. I want one

[Emu]

Those things are a load. My brother bought one for like 60 dollars and even teh smallest shake will completely destroy it, and then you have to pay 30 more for it to be "recharged."

[glowbelly]

he rocked his world

IF A MAN CAN'T PLAY GOD OVER NEAR-MICROSCOPIC SHRIMP TRAPPED IN A BALL OF WATER, THEN JUST WHO CAN HE PLAY GOD OVER? WHO!?!?!?!?

[Perndog]

Because the ecosphere is a self-sustaining ecosystem, you never have to feed the life within. Simply provide your EcoSphere with a source of indirect natural or artificial light...

Self-sustaining...except for the required external source of energy.

What a load.

Sunlight. The shrimp things feed off the algae that grows in it.

Mock: I WANT AN ECOSPHERE
Mock: WHY CAN'T YOU GIVE BIRTH TO ONE OF THOSE!
glow: like i'd give something that came out of my womb to you to take care of
Mock: AT LEAST I'D GIVE IT ENOUGH SUNLIGHT! YOU'RE THE ONE KEEPING IT IN YOUR WOMB ALL THAT TIME TRYING TO KILL IT
glow: it's warm in there
Mock: READ THE DIRECTIONS. WITHOUT SUNLIGHT THEY'LL DIE
glow: i'm sorry but you must have my baby confused for a small ecosystem enclosed in glass
glow: another reason why you don't get custody
Mock: IF YOU WERE A GOOD MOTHER, YOU'D BE GIVING BIRTH TO A WORLD - AN ECOSYSTEM - NOT SOME KID!
Mock: I GUESS YOU JUST DON'T HAVE THE HIPS FOR IT
glow: womb envy. that's what i'm chalking all of this nonsense talk up to.
Mock: SO GO ON, HAVE YOUR STINKIN KID! I'M GONNA FIND ME A WOMAN WHO CAN GIVE BIRTH TO A SMALL UNIVERSE!
glow: i'm kinda curious as to how she would become pregnant
Mock: MY SPERM IS MADE OF GLASS BALLS
glow: i said "kinda curious"
Mock: IF YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE HEAT, DON'T VACATION IN HELL, BABY.

I don't have enough tacky overly-expensive furnature for that thing to go well with. I'd first need at least a single-tone blue leather couch, a few glass sculptures sparsely placed on an enormous glass book case, and receeded floor lights; then I'll be just yuppie enough to own an eco-sphere.

[Mockery]

Don't be a douchebag. You know the thought of ruling over tiny shrimp encased in a glass orb gets you all wet with excitement.

I want an Ecosphere. I'll keep it here at work with me and the power of the flourescent lights will keep the shrimp alive until I decide they must perish. For in my cube, I AM A GOD AMONG SHRIMP!

Well I'm sure no-one will buy you it. Sorry.

[DamnthatDavid]

I don't think flourescent lights will work that well.

But hey, when you get tired of your eco-system, you can twirl the ball really quickly and cause a spinning vortex of death.

[Emu]

Be careful not to play any music, look at them too hard, or breathe near your Ecosphere. It will shatter.

[sadie]

there's no way i could have anything so fragile in my baby-proofed place.

[Command Prompt]

They are only good for 2 years on average

Get a puppy instead. At least you can pet it and take it for walks.

PS - Wanting to shake it and destroy all the living creatures inside? Now you know how God feels. I'd laugh if your stupid shrimp colony decided to all vote republican. Then you'd DEFINATELY know how God feels.

[Dr. V]

I'd get one but I usually have no sunlight in my room. I sleep all day and the shades are shut. I'd be a crappy god. A GOD OF DARKNESS!

[The Damp Moose]

The EcoSphere is the result of technology developed by scientists at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

Also, just how much pleasure can you get out of lording over a dozen or so creatures the size of a pinhead? Well, besides being able to play baseball with their entire universe.
