Is there any tamagochi-like ;) application like an aquarium on your desktop? It would be cool if someone coded such idea - I mean - not a game like Creatures or an aquarium screensaver, but some pet that you have to feed from time to time, that for example urinates on your document ;) (only virtually - that won't destroy the file:P) if you don't feed it or open the door for him to go out and do what he needs ;) Of course that would be a background app, not too iritating, but an interesting add-on. You would use it when bored with coding/writing an important document or smth. "Argh..stupid boss... I wonder what my fishy is doing"

My suggestions:

- A golden fish in a bowl/aquarium - if you're taking good care of her you can buy her some decorations like shells, and then maybe a little bigger bowl ;) If you forget about her for a longer time she dies. There could be an online graveyard/highscore ;)

- A desktop penguin :) You have to feed him, stroke him from time to time, sometimes he walks through the desktop when you're doing something etc.

I doubt it, but maybe there are some coders who would be interested in such small project?

Hm... am I spending too much time in front of the computer? :roll:

Sorry for my english, I can do better, but I'm really tired today ;)
