There was an article in FAMA by someone in Canada that was all excited
because they found a Gambusia in their LFS's feeder tank - they treated it

"Instead of giving money to found colleges to promote
learning, why don't they pass a constitutional amendment
prohibiting anybody from learning anything? If it works as
good as the Prohibition one did, why, in five years we would
have the smartest race of people on earth." -- American
humorist Will Rogers (1879-1935)
