“Let’s see if we can find Dvorak!

Singapore’s aquarium has tagged some of its fishes using microchips to help visitors identify the different species on display.

Visitors to the Underwater World aquarium can see the name, species and other information displayed on a touch screen whenever any of the 20 tagged fishes swim past a sensor, said Peter Chew, sales and marketing manager at Underwater World.

“Gone are the days when visitors are happy looking at animals and matching them with the information on the sign boards,” Chew said.

Underwater World, which is on Singapore’s Sentosa island, is the first aquarium in the world to tag its exhibit fishes with microchips using the radio frequency identification technology, Chew said.

This now explains the real reason behind UFO tagging. Earth really is nothing more than a large-scale terrarium for interstellar observers of primitive species.

Well, pre-warp drive, anyhow.

    This is just a test. People chips are next. Whenever you pass a scanner they know all about you.

    Gone are the days when we may have to think for ourselves. I have seen stupid wastes of money, this is fucking asinine.

    LOL wow i wonder how much it cost to install a chip in a fish vs. the fish’s gourmet value. i gotta say your right #3 huge waste of money. and what happens when someone wants to identify a fish and it isnt swimming near the sensors thats bound to piss someone off. do i smell a ridiculous lawsuit?
