The world's largest zoo and aquarium shot glass collection just got one glass bigger. Someone call the Guinness Book! Growing up in Connecticut, The Mystic Aquarium was basically Benny and my Disney World. Special thanks to Eric Heupel of the awesome invertebrate blog, The Other 95%, for the donation.
Also picked up the Brookfield Zoo this weekend, so that brings the tally to 23. The new list is below the fold. I know you are all fascinated...

Friend of a friend worked at Mystic and my friend and I managed to get an off-hours back stage tour, even got to commune with the dolphins. That was something else.
Highly recommended if you can do so.

So where do I send your shot glasses????
I've been trying to find you - I have two that you don't have and I would like to send them to you! :-)
You do have a nice collection, I must say.
