Mine isnt exactly IN the tank but because of the tank...I just bought some crazyglue and didnt realize it was leaking. All I did was pick it up once and I got a bunch on my finger, which I thought was suger glaze from a pastry...guess what I did?
All I'll say is that stuff really does bond skin instantly...

I had a roomate who started to get involved in freshwater fishing. He asked my if I thought his new lures were any good. I told him if he took the hooks of he could test them out in my 150 aggresive tank. Well it seems triggerfish love fishing lures they destroyed a couple of the ones with the rubbery fringe things on them. One pull across the tank and there were no fringes left on them at all. He was amazed at the aggression of my boys.

My two youngest decided the fishies might be cold, so they filled the small aquarium w/ paper towels to keep the fishies warm!
No more fishies in that tank! :happyfish

I don't think anything wacky in my own tanks thank goodness but when I worked in an aquarium I dropped a radio in there. That didn't go over well. Also a cell phone (rubbing alcohol saved it!). Several people took glee in throwing things into the tanks...pennies were a fav, and often into our pain in the rear cylindrical coral tank, or alligator exhibit. 
Someone threw a stuffed "Patrick" from Spongebob into the alligator exhibit as well. Very very difficult to convince the inhabitants to let go.

i recently re-watched deuce bigilow a couple of months ago. man did i crack up! the first time i watched it, several years ago, i didnt even REALIZE that he maintained sw fish tanks!!!!! that is so hilarious. i was cracking up the whole second time. i love the snails part
one time, we (my dad lol) was working on the lights, as in unbolting the vhos from the hood and repositioning them. well he left to do something, and when i looked at the tank, they were hanging in the water!!!!! apparently he hadnt finished screwing in one side and had left to go find another screw! i pulled them out and they were fine.
ive never really dropped anything bad in the tank, except for algae clips that get swept away very quickly and sink to the bottom and get wedged in these impossible places under th lr if you know what i mean.
i did once have a fish that didnt want to go IN the tank!!!

ill tell you what, those ipods MUST be water resistant. one of of my friends. her stomach wasnt doing well. she was sick and well, leaning over the toilette. after vomiting,she dropped her ipod into the toilette! she actualy reached in, pulled it out, washed it off, sprayed with with lysol and used a hair drying. it works!
and sorry to anyone who found that repulsive.
