A new exhibit joins the Titanic

[wicked]

I spent too much time at county fairs in my youth watching those things being slapped up and torn down and the people who were doing it.

Some stoned carnie slapping together a Ferris wheel ain't the best idea.

You think they’re lugging iron from ****burg to ****burg?

Is this the end of the thread, or only the Beginnings.

While the Chicago-jack is amusing we should reserve this thread for posts about the mini-sub implosions and the Titanic et Cetera

It’s a hard habit to break.

Finally getting to the deficiencies in the Titan beyond the game controller, yikes, its chilling.

Simply the cylindrical vs sphere shape is troubling at those depths;

the use of multiple components, carbon fiber hull and titanium cylinders, made seams as weak spots (instead of a homogeneous unit);

plus the application of the seam epoxy in an open, not dust-free, environment.

The Titan Submersible Was Designed And Built Even Worse Than You Think

And yet people will continue to dive in them to see next to nothing.

Can't get this earworm outta my head so I figured I'd share it.


We all lived a life of ease (a life of ease)
Every one of us (every one of us)
Had all we need (had all we need)
Sky of blue (sky of blue)
And sea of green (sea of green)
In our ****ty (in our ****ty)
Submarine (submarine, ahaaaa)

We all died in a ****ty submarine
A ****ty submarine, a ****ty submarine.
We all died in a ****ty submarine
A ****ty submarine, a ****ty submarine.

I really hope people read this portion of the thread on Saturday, in the park, when every day is the Fourth of July.

Was away from the board yesterday. Even posters need a holiday. Hard to say I'm sorry about that, but I will make it up to you. I promise to.

Now I REALLY hate you all.

Sometimes I just forget, say things I might regret,
it breaks my heart to see you crying.
I don't want to lose you,
I could never make it alone.

I am a man who would fight for your honor,
I'll be the hero you're dreaming of.
We'll live forever,knowing together
that we did it all for the glory of love.

My apologies to whomever coined this term, I saw it recently but can't remember where:

Take your like and get out of my face.

Not getting the feeling, never mind More Than A Feeling.

But maybe that's between Just You 'N' Me.

Don't look back, man. All I want is to have my peace of mind ...

There would be remains from an implosion?

I was freaked out enough by Sebastian Junger's chapter on the physiology of drowning in The Perfect Storm - one of the most horrifying chapters of any book I've ever read - do not want to even ponder how the body "experiences" sudden pressurization.
