BioReactor Dumpster Diving

The other day, in honor of our dear friend Liam, we went looking for food for our bio-reactors. Luckily, they aren't very picky about their food, since it's mostly made up of micro-organisms, bugs, and fish.

Enjoy the video!

This latest round of cuts is more proof that public officials and government don't value the arts in our society.
