Announce: Submersible canoe???

Just thought you would all get a kick out of this....

In the November issue of Nat'l Geographic's "Adventure" magazine, there's a story on a guy who built his own submarine. When the coast guard was trying to figure out how to class it, they decided that because of it's length and beam it would classify as a canoe! Perhaps Nick needs to add a new class to the "subject" drop-down list for "submersible." The next "meet at the beach" could have a rolling competition, followed by a diving competition. I'm sure you've all had those times where people on the beach thought you were in trouble when you were practicing rolls... imagine what they will think when you disappear under water and don't come up for a couple of hours! :D

LOL,
Malcolm
