Thanks for taking an interest, Brett, and I'm glad you're still breathing in 
and breathing out.

However, this misses the mark on several counts. I won't go into details on 
the legalities--we have a big book of laws and regulations concerning the 
keeping and use of animals--but the benefits would be trivial, in my opinion, 
and would not come close to justifying the cost and effort.
