I finally narrowed it down to two. Gah. I'm stuck.
"I will give you a talisman. Whenever you are in doubt, or when the self becomes too much with you, apply the following test. Recall the face of the poorest and the weakest man whom you may have seen, and ask yourself, if the step you contemplate is going to be of any use to him or her. Will she gain anything by it? Will it restore her to a control over her own life and destiny? In other words, will it lead to freedom for the hungry and spiritually starving millions? Then you will find your doubts and your self melt away."

I finally made my decision. It was so hard! It's looking like it'll be a close call here.

Other Fishes that are kool:
1 Tire Track Eel

There's a lot of kool pictures right there. It took me like 15 min. to figure out which one I wanted.
If you have a puffer, and it's happy. Then you are a good person.

Some people say puffers are just a fish, they aren't just a fish, they're a living organism that actually has a mind! And we're killing them, just look at the video.

Stop it! Stop the pollution! Get a life and do something.

Trinity's adorable! It took me forever to decide between him and George, and even though I finally picked George, I was still torn! What a sweet face.
