About the Greek crisis, I heard of a nice solution recently..
Instead of pouring money down the Greek drain, and fat rich Greeks transferring it to their Swiss bank-accounts,
why not offer all Europeans a free holiday to Greece? All expenses paid of course..

Rbsanford · « **Reply #110 on:** November 04, 2011, 15:46:33 »

then ille pretend to be european to get a free greece vacation.

Last night I happened to be watching a German TV-show called "Wetten Dass", a show of various bets.
In it, a guy had 4 minutes to solve a Rubiks cube puzzle, the last bit he did while submerged underwater holding his breath in a large watertank and blindfolded
Quite amazing..

Here's the video.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2huaQLUWU8

If one is interested in having a close encounter with the Titanic, (and if one has some extra cash), there is a company that is organizing two dive expeditions next year..

Since they are going down in a Russian MIR submersible, the question of experience is irrelevant.
The Russians have been sending tourists down for yearsâ€”since Bob Ballard first found Titanic. Considerable damage has been done over the years by landing the MIRs on the fragile, corroding, hulk.

Rbsanford · « **Reply #120 on:** December 07, 2011, 03:26:12 »

i guess ure right... technology has improved greatly since ballard first explored the wreck.

how much will it cost to go down there? i would love to.

ears must pop like mad though.

its bad enough in Soudan Underground Mine, a retired iron mine and neutrino lab on Lake Vermillion. huge elevator takes you down 36,000 feet below sea level. elevator goes 50mph (still takes quite a while to get down there) and ears go "BOOM"

please stop me before i keep reminecsing.

Why would oneâ€™s ears pop?
You are simply Spam in a canâ€”hermetically sealed in inside a steel or titanium sphere. If the air pressure changes, then you have a problem.

The Volvo Ocean Race 2011-2012 is underway, and I just found that the site has a very nice 3D-viewer.
Go to their site and launch the 3D Interactive Race Viewer.. Enjoy..
