Life Cycle Completed. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Genius strikes at the most random times. I was walking along the hypnotizing maze of the Cincinnati aquarium when, out of nowhere, this sign appeared. It acknowledges death without apology, without lying, without mincing words.

The octopus has completed its life cycle and will soon be replaced.

I'm not sure if I'm in a morbid state of mind, if I've overdosed on Christmas carols and kids home for break, but I thought this was great.

What a classy way of saying it. Of course my kids would want to know more and keep asking questions. The science teacher in me would probably explain. Thanks for sharing!

This is probably the best sign ever!

LOL I have never seen anything like that sign!

That is a great sign! We visited the Cincinnati Art Museum yesterday and my daughter was completely enthralled. Did your kids love the aquarium?

2009 has come to an end. A New Year will be arriving shortly to take it's place.

Happy New Year Vanessa!

That's a great way of putting it. I would've taken a picture of that sign too just because it's out of the ordinary. We don't often see signs written that a living thing has completed a life cycle.

Mark has decided that he wants that written on his tombstone. He loves the phrasing!
