    Rock Trivia - What's the next line game

    "In the jungle Welcome to the jungle..." Guns N Roses Welcome to the Jungle And the actual name of the Pink Floyd track above is "Happiest days of our lives." It's a short intro track to "Another Brick in the Wall Part 2." So kind of a trick question. "The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not...

    Off the wall question?

    Another option is to plan a short dive with another computers or tables and lower the computer on a line off a boat. That way you can rack deco obligations up on the computer while you're safely topside. Then when the computer goes into deco, dive down and do your short dive you planned while...

    From jacket BC to back plate and wing?

    OK, I'm only going to jump into this conversation because it's in basic scuba and I think it pertains to me. (Also, I've had like a whole 3 beers, so I'll actually speak up on a topic rather than let the experts handle it.) I'm not certified yet. I've been dying to actually scuba dive for...

    heat loss

    Another factor to consider when thinking about why the head transfers heat quickly is the amount of blood vessels in the head. If you've ever gotten a facial or scalp laceration you'll know it bleeds like crazy. So that transfers heat very efficiently, much like a car's radiator. According to...

    Custom Hand Signals

    I think learning some basic ASL is a great idea for diving. Back when I was bartending in noisy clubs I learned a little ASL to help communicate with some hearing impaired regulars. Was so much easier than trying to shout over the music that I ended up teaching some friends so I could check on...

    Gas blending help

    That reminds me of one of my high school algebra teachers. He was convinced that calculators were a Communist plot to make us dependent and then take them all back to screw with our engineers and scientists. Pretty creative and thought provoking idea, but he stuck with it into the 1990's, so I...

    The "Thanks" button is gone.

    Heck, I put days into charting out local wrecks for one of the regional groups a couple weeks ago and the "Thanks" I got from it kinda made me feel like I wasn't wasting my time. Also, BDSC, Thanks (Now, how to add "post_thanks1.gif" to my sig to mess with people who haven't noticed...

    Update Got an email from Dave Clancy (owner of wreckhunter.net) today. Looks like this chart may get put into his website (or some version of it, anyway) with possible collaberation for updates or new charts, pending his approval. Thanks again to Dave for doing all the heavy lifting so that I...

    New England Wreck Chart

    Hey all, I got bored so I took the .pdf that wreckhunter.net released on June 2 2010 and put it in google earth. It's every wreck in that file that has coordinates. Each wreck is tagged with the link to the wreckhunter data page, and the basic info from wreckhunter.net. So probably well over...

    Sea Hunt on This TV

    Well, I'm 27 and I love watching Sea Hunt, although I've only found the first season online. But then again, I watched "The Hustler" yesterday and prefer old movies, so maybe I don't count. Although when I was watching Sea Hunt online a few months ago my 11 year old nephew thought it was the...

    Divers Song Parodies

    OK, NetDoc dug this thread up in chat a little while ago and I couldn't stop laughing. I think it's time to bring this one back. I'll work on some lyrics after I get a little sleep. Also thinking about checking copyright laws to see how the law is for derivative works. Maybe I'll make...

    Going to be needing some new friends . . . soon

    I had dinner last night here in RI at a Texas Roadhouse. I was missing TX, so I settled for the best available option. When I tried to order a Shiner Bock, the waitress had never even heard of it. I thought there, of all places, I could get a Shiner. I had to settle for a 'Gansett (local...
