Sea Monkeys?

I found out today that U.S. taxpayers paid $307,524 dollars for a study that trained sea monkeys to swim in synchronized motion, obey commands of a beam of light to do loop-ti-loops and dancing motions to determine if the collective "swirl" of sea monkeys can generate enough "swirling flow" to potentially influence the circulation of water in oceans.

I recall ads for "sea monkeys" for sale on the back of comic books when I was a little kid, I always thought they were some sort of sponge that expands in water and a gimmick, but it appears there are sea monkeys and they are so powerful they generate swirls that circulate entire oceans, amazing creatures.

Can anyone tell me about sea monkeys? Is there a study to determine if they have alien outerspace origin? Amazing critters who can be trained to dance! Are there people who eat sea monkeys, and can they be a vector for ebola like fruit bats, green monkeys and prairie dogs? Did we evolve from sea monkeys?

What are sea monkeys?

OMG! They are real! Thanks "W" (dubbya), your link led me to THIS - dancing sea monkeys!

Actually, they make me feel sort'a sick. No way would I want this critter in my house! They are yucky! Just looking at them makes me want to take a bath, and nightmares of them getting an egg into my glass of water, growing and then eating my intestine.

They are as ugly as a centipede.

I had some sea monkeys as a kid. Not a bad pet for a child, they're cheap and very easy to look after (goldfish are demanding by comparison).

I think it would be funnier if you could do the same with mosquito larvae, "oh look at the cute little sea monkeys, can't wait till I can train them!"

And if you get tired of them you can feed them to the goldfish...

I was disappointed when I was a kid when I got my sea monkeys, they look like water fleas, not interesting at all.

I used to have porch monkeys when I landlorded in student housing.
(Here, "porch monkey" refers to a student, typically a white one.)
They're more destructive (& less tasty) than brine shrimp.

Some terms mean different things to different people in different locations
at different times. So care must be used in their use.
Even when applied to students, the term is not openly used. Educational
affiliation is a protected group, which would include university students.
Note: I've never even seen a group of non-white porch monkeys.
