The bad part is that it costs a lot to suck it out.

The ones I've seen are green.  Algae.  They didn't seem to mind.

  I'd think they'd look forward to all the happy meals provided by oil 
workers who think that bears are cute.

It would be pretty to think so, but it doesn't really help much.

BTW, did you read my rant about FF 20015 over-writing 20014 and then 
refusing to start because I hadn't updated some libraries?  That 
didn't make me feel any better at all.  Moreover, I got FF3 to install 
in windows and an updated linux partition and (a) all my extensions 
are toast, especially tab mix plus which I LOVE; and (b) it's ugly in 
linux.
