:rofl4:Haldane's research led to one of the best SB quotes I think I've ever read: Mike Edmonston's comment, "Never assume an unexploded goat is evidence of a good decompression profile."
Shouldn't that be, "a goat on four legs?"Haldane's research led to one of the best SB quotes I think I've ever read: Mike Edmonston's comment, "Never assume an unexploded goat is evidence of a good decompression profile."
Good answer, I was just reading about the pig thing.Ah. Good question, Za! Haldane needed (non-human) subjects on which to perform tests to determine empirically how deep/long a compression was safe and how fast the de-compression could be. He chose goats because they were plentiful, their physiology is not too different from ours, and when a long-legged goat has a bend it really shows in its gait/posture--as opposed to, for example, a pig. With non-human subjects you can't just ask them, "do you have any pain yet?"
