Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Bullshit bingo for submarine design discussions

["Mark Steed" <plutomark@mail.astate.edu>]

Damn! Just let me stay away from a computer for one day and see what happens. Bullshit Bingo! I love it. Does this mean I should not submit my sub plans using a converted iron lung with a carbide powered steam engine? I thought it could have potential, especially with its lawn mower blade prop. The Navy would have loved it. Maybe Carsten could use a set of plans. Hmmm. Back to the drawing board- Mark Steed
