Uninteresting Trivial Facts

Scottish tennis players are in four finals at the Australian Open! Current tally - won 2, lost 1. Andy Murray is the last to play, tomorrow morning.

You have to go back to 1707 for a Scotland win, then they won the right to become an English suburb.

The historical reality is that England is an annex of Scotland.  After all, the first King of Britain was James I who was James VI of Scotland first and expanded his kingdom to include England and Wales.  Once people got fed up of the Stuarts, we sold Britain as a job lot to the Germans.

Actually, Scotland is Berwick-upon-Tweed North and England is Berwick-upon-Tweed South.

It's difficult to shoot people underwater  Great camera work though. I still don't understand how the propellant gets enough oxygen to explode.

it is contained within the charge.

[Farmduck]

it is contained within the charge.

So should you pack a lighter load to allow more air? (I'm contemplating a career in shooting people underwater and just doing my due diligence)

No it is contained in the charge as in the chemical make up of the charge. Trained sharks with laser beams on their heads are best for shooting people underwater.

The trick is persistent propellant rather than initial-only propellant, you need something like a torpedo but then you can't keep the destructive speed of a bullet.  You're going to be far more effective with a bloody big explosive and using the concussion wave than trying to jury-rig any small projectile into being effective.

It seems counter-intuitive that any compound can oxidise that quickly but also release enough oxygen to sustain the chemical reaction.

 

Sharks are OK but I live 50km inland and we're not allowed to take sharks on the train anymore.

Maybe I should use a grenade or mine.

Get a large oxygen cylinder.  Strap a shark to the non-valve end.  Point it at whoever you don't like who also happens to be underwater.  Knock the end off the valve.  Jet powered shark.  And there you have the future of armed naval conflict.

 

Alternatively, and if you really want to get into high-technology, you may even consider using some sort of genetically modified crustacean.

I think you're right about the jet-powered shark.

 

Dunno about using crushed Asians. I'm OK with killing people but I don't feel right about GM tech.

What an interesting moral code you have!

 

Not to mention your sense of humour.

Hmmm, you neatly avoided the subject of genetically modified crustaceans.  So, what is your view?  The forum awaits your response.

Shellfish are already perfect. Why mess with that?

It didn't take long. We were assured that technology would only be used for peaceful purposes yet as soon as the military industrial complex gets hold of the basic research we end up with mutant killer cetaceans.

Where oh where is the idealistic starry eyed young scientist we recruited to ClawPhin ® from the world of women's festival urinatory convenience? I'll tell you, gone to California and recruited to a black ops research division of MobyClaw that's where.

Bob8 you should be ashamed of yourself sitting there in Tony Starks house with that nice girl from the post room and the last of the Angelina Jolie clones.

I appreciate some of you may not have the first clue about the above. Trust me, you are all the better for that

Here at the Clawphin © skunkworks, progress never stands still. Only yesterday, one of our team crossbred a sense of deja vu with a dolphin.

England approves human embryo modification

[Bearman]

Is it a nuance Shad?

[Bearman]

Anything been cloned with a Farmduck?

I heard that Mobyclaw are the secret backers of Donald Trump.  It explains the hairdo anyway.

Here's something that won't surprise some of you. Today, as one does, I googled, "Weaponized crustacean," and found this:  http://www.wired.com/2014/07/absurd-creature-of-the-week-pistol-shrimp/
