Condom Ecosphere

Create the circle of life... in a condom! This ecosphere, similar to ones developed by NASA, will last a reasonable amount of time if left in indirect sunlight during the day. Very fun and maintenance free. Fishtank and focal point of desk!

EDIT: DO NOT ATTEMPT! POSSIBLY DANGEROUS FOR ANIMALS!

Condom Ecosphere Vid
Click play to watch. Thanks all, took a lot of work.

Step 1 Watch video.

Start off by opening and cleaning condom with water. The thinner the condom, the more easy to see through, but the weaker.

THE FISH WILL DIE FFS! No air !!!!

[last_decoy]

hahah now when the fish dies from pure lack of oxygen you can flush them both down the toilet... i could suggest putting sea monkeys into the condom... but it seems most of us already do... honestly, i put potatos in theis things cause they have a better seal around them when they fly out of the potato cannon! im serious!

[legr8est1234]

Have you got nothing better to do with that condom?

[ARVash]

Does anyone? Honestly, it's better jacket free; get married some day you'll see.

[incorrigible packrat]

Hey, I've been married two years and still use the rubbers! What up wi' dat? Actually,wife doesn't care for pills and we don't want fifty brats running around. Suppose I could go for a snip... Rapidly heading into "too much information" territory here...

[RandomHero]

ya know, u were a brat once.. lol

[incorrigible packrat]

Precisely. Just one of me is probably too many. Who needs more?

[RandomHero]

lol nice answer

[callmeshane]

I told my girl friend that I'd like to have 15 kids with her. She said, "Ohh I don't know, I'd have to ask my husband about that". I looked at her and said, "What? - You want to have 30 kids?"

[incorrigible packrat]

Which did you want to have the kids for; lunch or dinner?

[masterochicken]

Just keep using condoms or else you'll end up fat and lazy like my dog.

[incorrigible packrat]

But wasn't your dog fully neutered, rather than just vasectomised? I suppose it's possible to give a dog a vasectomy, but I don't think it's standard veterinary practice.

[masterochicken]

Distance doesn't matter. If your balls aren't connected to you then your not gonna feel the same.

[incorrigible packrat]

Balls are still connected to you after a vasectomy. The vas deferens is cut so that the spermatozoa can't escape from the dink. Hormone production and all that stuff stays the same. I'm not really an advocate for the procedure or anything, I just like to say "vas deferens".

[chriskarr]

Does the vas deferens' being severed cause any ill effects in men? I'm not even thinking of having the procedure done, I'm only 15, but do you know what happens to all the little swimmers? It seems like you'd get some kind of REALLY BAD infection...

[incorrigible packrat]

It's apparently pretty safe. Just for fun, I did a comparative Googling. "vasectomy health risks" returns 204,000 results. In comparison, "pregnancy health risks" returns 1,650,000 results. This is by no means an exhaustive scientific study, but it is interesting to ponder.

I see you've replied to my comment, but I fail to understand why. It's been a crazy year-and-a-half since I posted that innocent little comment "Have you got nothing better to do with that condom?", and I've received so many replies that I frankly don't think were addressed to me. I don't mind, but I don't want to get into discussions about vasectomies, welfare, and the economy, especially on the page of an instructable like this.

[incorrigible packrat]

I think that if you post a comment, then someone replies, then someone else replies to that, the original poster keeps seeing each comment in the thread as a reply to the original post. I dunno if it's supposed to work this way or not. I've noticed the phenomenon once in a while, but not frequently, probably 'cuz any thread that I start is too inane, or too bizarre to generate much discussion.

Sorry for any inconvenience.

It is kinda fun to see where the conversation leads...

... until you encounter trolls.

I've found the odd one elsewhere on this site. It ain't no picnic.

[chriskarr]

I understand; I was just trying to hold a conversation with somebody who seemed friendly. I apologize for any inconvenience.

[legr8est1234]

I'm sorry if I came across as rude and unfriendly (I'm really not like that), but it seems like I've been receiving a lot of replies lately that have nothing to do with my comment. I find many of these funny and entertaining, but don't take it personally if I don't reply to you. It's just that, as I said above, I have no intention of getting into a conversation about the vas deferens. So, sorry for what might have looked like hostility.

[chriskarr]

Don't worry about it. We're all on here for a good time. I understand how getting all of these messages that aren't even to you can get very annoying very quickly.

[chriskarr]

Having an intact vas deferens makes a vast difference when attempting to have a child.

[incorrigible packrat]

Children are overrated though. There's gotta be like, at least 6 billion of the little buggers running around the place.

Wow, there's still such a thing as welfare in America, even after eight years of Dubya. According to noted sage Neil Young, welfare mothers make better lovers; as such, they could have recourse to prostitution, to better finance drug purchases. The State could then tax the drug supply and use the generated revenue to finance the bank bailout.

[chriskarr]

All I can say to that is - A - You're right. B - Wow.

[incorrigible packrat]

I think I was probably around your age, possibly a touch older, when I read "A Modest Proposal" by one Jonathan Swift. Check it out. 'Tis a hoot, and a fine introduction to the wonderful world of satire. Just read it again myself. Still hilarious!

[masterochicken]

I never thought I'd miss my vas deferens They took my outy and made it an in Sorry, you just reminded me of that song

[The Mollusk]

Anyway condoms are awesome for hobbies, Cement condom structures look really weird and cool. They also are perfect for keeping your electronics waterproof.
