Friend: I bought 19 new fish.
Me: That’s amazing.
Friend: One of the species eats poo. I’ll never have to buy them food again
Me: That’s incredible.
Friend: Well it does eat poo and algae but you still need to feed it.
Me: If i was a fish I’d want you to be my owner.
Friend: I want to breed them and then I can give you one. Would you like one?
Me: Sure. I’d call it Bort if it was a boy.
Friend: I’ll surprise you one of these days.
Me: One condition. It must be a hot fish.
Friend: It will be ridiculously good looking.
Me: I won’t discriminate against it just because it has rockin’ fins and a mouth to die for.
Friend: And great suction.
Me: That goes without sayinng.

It’s a week of discovery on WordCast this week: (1) We learn about a “secret” change in 2.8 that’s making some of the net mad; (2) Fascinating statistics about WordPress themes; and (3) We even learn what a WordPress alert bar sounds like. All that and more in episode 62. We can’t believe we’ve made it this far… still.
