  1. I have the sea monkeys, but no diploma yet. :)

    "The back of the box features the company's latest way to really cash in: The Sea-Monkey Diploma! Finally, you could have verifiable, documented proof that you can successfully pour water and pour packets of eggs into said water. The kicker? The diploma will only cost you eight bucks! Actually, it will cost you ELEVEN BUCKS, because this piece of paper somehow costs three dollars to ship! For eleven bucks, you could buy an entire new set of Sea Monkeys. I can't imagine anyone besides myself actually shelling out the eleven bucks for a piece of paper which fully enforces the idea that you're stupid enough to spend eleven bucks on a piece of paper stating you know how to raise sea-monkeys. It's the ultimate scam, and I can appreciate that.

    "Wait a second, scratch that - just read that the diploma comes with ribbons! Ribbons! That's eleven dollars well spent. The clencher that's going to force me to buy this thing is that you have to make all checks payable to 'The Crustacean College'. Now I have to buy it. Just think of the fun I'll have balancing out my checkbook in a few months."

    I've spent money to find out what something looks like. I once ordered a degree from a group or person, who knows, that said it was a legal- accredited degree. It was advertised in the back of some magazine. I sent in my $25.00, and received a small envelope about 3 weeks later. Inside was my diploma, filled out but without a date on it. It was a very plain little diploma about 6x9 inches. I looked in the vanilla envelope and got out a small piece of note paper. It said to read my bible completely and faithfully and then record the date on the diploma. It went on to say, the material you have studied, and the wisdom you have gained is fully accredited by God. The name on the diploma is, Friendship Christian Church. A wonderful little diploma and I love the bit of verse. If it brings a smile to your face the $11.00 bucks is a bargain. My little diploma, from 1984, still brings a smile to me even now. If you spill the water you must return the diploma. :)
