Press text;
"Welcome to an academic lecture about goldfish, with total disregard to the narrow-minded formalities, that hinders today's intellectuals in bringing the fruits of their truly expanding and illuminating work, to the wider public. The one aim of this lecture is to increase your knowledge of - and interest in - the small and bypassed phenomenon of the goldfish." With the slogan "in every absurd lecture, all means are allowed", we are guided through such selected themes as: "Pets as a substitute!" - "A travel in the similarities of the flesh." "Us tomorrow?" - "Your own, personal, bowl." "As you might have guessed, this is no sugary tear jerker, but a heartfelt call to wake up and smell the goldfish!"
