A seemingly impossible fish tank.

Check this tank out..it has cup like holes on the side of the tank with access INTO the tank. Something about the negative pressure at the top keeps the water from flowing out.

A couple google searches and Babelfish translations later I found where it is:

The Oita Marine Culture Center in Kamae ,Oita, Japan:
(warning...it ain't in English )
http://www.oitamcc.com/

You can see an ad on this page (halfway down):
http://www.oitamcc.com/sisetu.html

..but that's all I could find. I couldn't read the site since I didn't understand the language..it may as well have been written in Japanese....oh wait....it was.

I'm guessing either the room we're looking at is highly pressurized or the room above the tank is a giant vacuum... either way , that's just plain weird lol
