    Just a quick observation...

    Has anyone here seen The Transporter? How factually incorrect is that! He has a bunch of SCUBA gear hidden in a well in his house so he can make a quick escape to the sea if people are trying to kill him. So he takes a girl who is escaping with him, puts on the gear and just HAPPENS to have a mask for her too - which fits perfectly of course! No weights or anything for her - no the two of them are perfectly buoyant without thank you very much! Ha ha there's a lot of stuff like this in that film but this bit in particular tickled me. (PS it is a good movie - just more action than story).

    I particularly liked the part when he was using a stethoscope to listen through the containers... I think he was using a littman steth, which he put in his ears backwards!

    one was better than two even with that seen.
