Encounters with military divers

Where do you people come up with this crap?

lol


(psssst... it's called hyperbole)


hyperbole: A hyperbole, largely synonymous with exaggeration and overstatement, is a figure of speech in which statements are exaggerated or extravagant. It is used to create a strong impression and is not meant to be taken literally.

Are you related to Anthony? Oh my God my side hurts so bad from laughing so hard!

Where do you people come up with this crap?

I'm serious. When I worked at the dive shop part time, about every day someone would come in bragging that someone kin to them was a seal. It was hilliarous, especially the day a guy came in saying he was an ex-seal. The look on his face when I called him a liar was priceless. I offered to work free that day since I definitely lost a sale but the shop owner refused my offer. After he got up off the floor laughing.

Sorry. As a side-effect of this discussion, I thought that you might have been amused a bit by a few CGI images that I made at various times in the past. Sorry, I got carried away somewhat. (See http://www.renderosity.com for more about CGI.) OK, I will keep serious from now on. Sorry. I realize that humour that may be routinely acceptable on Renderosity is not so welcome here.

Earlier today I saw a movie called "Submarine X-1". It was made in 1967. It is a fictionalized version with the names changed of when British midget submarines called X-craft attacked the Tirpitz and the Scharnhorst in 20 Sept 1943, as described at this link. The breathing sets used by the frogmen in the movie were open-circuit and were merely a very fat cylinder crosswise across the belly, with a black single-hose second-stage such as was not invented until the 1960's. Very anachronistic. Plus ordinary sport scuba weight belts and ordinary eyes-and-nose masks with elliptical windows. Hopelessly wrong. They should have used Sladen suits and an early type of Siebe Gorman rebreather.

This link contains all that I have been able to find about combat frogmen. I appreciate any comment.

A little free advice son. Generally, in life, don't dance on a mine field. Some things are funny and some arent.
