Chris Kyle was sniping baboons and sharks off the top of the Superdome.

I don’t think you understand how aquariums work


Actually, due to the extreme conditions, the evolution process for those animals went from millions of years to just days so that they could grow hands, so they could fashion tools, in order to free themselves and swim down the flooded streets of New Orleans. Then, once reaching sweet freedom, most of them died in the Gulf, as their bodies were no longer able to support life there. Those that did survive are now working at Lucky Ryan's in Buras.

Friend of mine works there and was in charge of the penguins at the time and my cousin is married to Ron.

All fish died and cleaning the tanks was as bad as you can imagine.

It was a rare opportunity to clean up the streets of New Orleans as most residents would never willingly go in the ocean. Freeing the sharks in the aquarium was seen as a cost efficient course of action

Um, they all died so now you know what your “friend” will do for you in a tight spot.

You know penguins are not fish.

LOL
The flooding was nowhere near the aquarium. I know almost all the fish died, but I’m pretty sure some of the animals were moved at some point. I know the penguins were

That’s why the NAVY Seals were called in because they have special training dealing with marine life. After they cleared out charity they took out all the escaped marine life.

I am just shocked that we are two pages in and no one has made a joke about the Cajuns showing up and cooking all the fish. Come on OT!

OP is retarded.

I still have a pic of me as a kid kneeling in front of the sea turtle tank. One turtle in particular would always swim up and float next to me. RIP turtlebro.
