Mostly (delayed) rants and generic ramblings. Cryptic postings are due only to incapacity for coherence.

OK, how harmful can a program called "Fish Tycoon" be? Sounds pretty harmless, and technically it is... you are the owner of an aquarium and you make money by selling fishes and aquariums. The more fish you sell, the more money you earn.

So we thought nothing of it when Yasmin (4+ on the date of this posting) found this attractive game on the Shockwave website, and started playing it online (she knows not to use the downloaded version as it expires after 60 minutes)

The yesterday afternoon I went to check up on what she was doing she announced proudly "Daddy, I know how to play this game!"

Me: How?
Yasmin: You have to make the fish pregnant and get more fish and sell them  for more money
Me: What?!!! How do you do that?
Yasmin: Yes, you drag the male fish over to the female fish, then they kiss and the female fish gets pregnant.
Me: I see! (oh, my!)
