My nephew got one of those for Christmas! It's amazing to watch. It reminds me of the old book The Shark In the Window, aka The Shark In Charlie's Window.

@15 Assuming it can swim upstream in a gentle breeze. You may have to settle for terrorizing an indoor pool.

I set a story at Dragon*Con, but wasn’t able to personally attend. If I’d known about you, George Hrab and the shark balloon, I would have included them.

@ Tara Li – I have seen some of the costumes at DragonCon, and, frankly, people watching is one of the better activities there!
As for the swimming balloon critter…now all we have to do is put together some light-weight sensors and a microcomputer and make it autonomous. I could even justify this from a scientific standpoint, as it would be an interesting way to send “rovers” to Saturn or Jupiter…..
Have a great 2012 – may it be better than 2011!
