you didn't get your welcome packet in the mail yet? should have a membership card and a detailed instruction for the secret handshake

the only advantage I can see of the Eniac over the Univac would be having to locate the 100 or so gallons of mercury for the memory tubes of the univac....

I wonder if that would throw up a red flag at the pentagon??

a second package should follow in a week or so containing your cloak and facemask for meetings, sayonces and our annual christmas party and 4th of july pig roast. Bring a dish to share

I don't see the rotation (fish feeder) idea working for crickets.. they are all going to cling to it or each other and there will be no way to limit the cricket count..

I considered the small tank to hold the crickets, with a tube that would allow them to just "wander" into the vivarium. keep it dark, and when you want them to run out for feeding time have the cricket cage illuminated and they will travel into the dark tube and dark viv(since my frog is nocturnal) still no real control over the cricket count....

Exactly why my attempting this idea fell by the way side

cricket turnstyle like at the train station.

you need to have a one way gate with some time of counter (electrical or mechanical). I've got this image of a cattle yard in my head - the one you'd find at a major commercial meating packing facility where the crickets would be led through a series of gated walkways that lead into the tank. basically forcing the direction of the crowd.

Don't forget the little cyanide tooth that comes in the package... Sheesh, don't you know we have to plan for all contingencies? All hail the almighty frog-gods...

It would be good if everyone knew before hand that was a cyanide tooth and not a tick tack.. we would avoid problems like we had last summer.
