I'd like to know. 

Also, as an aside, are you familiar with the aquaculture program at Ky. State University?  My dad used to do development work for them.

That'd be about the coolest and most wasteful thing to do with one's money if you were super-rich, going around buying incredibly rare artifacts and at the publicized exchange, just eating them. The Honus Wagner card, for example. Just taking it and eating it.

If you got to Baltimore, skip the aquarium.  It's expensive and, IMHO, not all that great.  Not as good as the NC Aquarium at Fort giraffeer, at least.

My friend worked there last summer!

It seemed like the most depressing thing ever. Not the working there, the living in coastal NC, alone, with no money. We went to visit her and she had a stack of completed crossword-puzzle books.
She gave us a tour, that aquarium is pretty cool for sure.

I don't know why I didn't think of this before:

there is a problem where Chimpanzees eat Red Colobus Monkeys. Both are on the list of the most critically endangered species in the world.

Saddest thing?

As we discussed elsewhere in the internet, the saddest thing would be John Madden stuffing a Red Colobus monkey WITH a Chimpanzee and eating it for Thanksgiving.

but, see, you can get mad at John Madden. You can say, "oh, god, that asshole."

There's nothing protecting John Madden from you getting mad at him for eating.
