So those marine biologists are just futzing around having a good time?

It's nice to know that.

Since we're talking about hobbies here, I'll mention a few of mine:

Neurosurgery:  It's great fun mucking about in brain tissue.
               I suggest that everyone do the same.  I do it,
               of course, for amusement and recreation.

Coal Mining:   This is a great recreational activity enjoyed
               at some time by literally millions of immigrants.
               
Munitions:     A long-loved pasttime of mine.  There is very
               little in the world as amusing as finding new
               uses for thermite; enemas for Richard Brousseau
               come to mind as possibilities.

What did I say about sci.aquaria in my post?  Nothing.  I don't even
support it, and I think Richard Sexton is an evil fascist.

I just thought Brousseau had some mighty great hobby ideas.  In fact,
I'm going to go build a house for fun and amusement tomorrow.
