Well, I guess a bailout bottle that you don't check properly will bite you in the butt or kick it. 
Hmmm. Looks like Bear Yates isn't the only bored diver on SB today.

One last one - Beer origin perhaps...
[h=3]Small bottles[/h] There are also smaller bottles, called nips,[8] ponies (not to be confused with a pony keg), cuartitos (in Mexico) and other names. In the U.S., the size of these bottles is usually 7 U.S. fl oz (207.0 ml; 7.3 imp fl oz). The 7 oz. bottles that were made for Rolling Rock Beer may be the first to be referred to as ponies.[citation needed] The size serving became popular when prohibition was repealed in 1933 and while America was still coming out of the Depression - the smaller beer was more suitable on a working man's budget. The Rolling Rock bottle carried a picture of the beer's logo, a horse; thus, when coming into a tavern or pub, the customer would ask for either a horse or a pony, meaning a large beer or a small beer respectively. Beers that come in small bottles today include Corona (labeled as Coronita),[9][10] Rogue Ales,[8][11] and Bud Light "Limeys". In Australia, a limited range of beers are available in a 250ml bottle,[12] nicknamed a 'throwdown' or 'grenade'.

I'm here... i've just been enjoying reading all your posts!
I've seen some posts here that recommend a 40" hose, why do I need this length and not shorter?

If your diving solo a shorter hose fine but if it may be needed by another diver 40" is more appropriate and when the hose is bungied down along the tank when not in use the length does not matter, within reason.

I use a 30"...on my 19cuft. That works well for me.
