	Tommy, Phil & Axel,
	Thanks for the sites on robotics.  I've always had a great interest
in the 
	$6 million dollar man series and "NO" not for "that" reason.  I
learned to 
	fly my dad's RC aircraft and gliders as a little girl and it's
great.  Too 
	bad there isn't an RC sub in the hobby shop for you to build, Tommy.
Just 
	thinking about the robot-pike with the servos and tendons.  If the
thousands 
	of years of propulsion is fine tuned for the fish species, why are
the 
	whales, dolphin and killer whale species using the horizontal tail
in motion 
	instead of the vertical tail in motion?  I will assume the fact the
whales, 
	dolphin give live births.  But then, so do sharks.

	Speaking of Korts, imagine a robotic four tail device with 90 degree
(square 
	nozzle) with opening and closing power tails that come together in a
pumping 
	action.  Talking about "g" forces, it's hard to believe the pike
produces 8 
	g's of acceleration and far exceeds the propeller.  I have
experienced 
	several "g's" during my sailplane lessons and embarrassed my
instructor 
	after we landed and I told the tow plane pilot that his partner had
just 
	show me my "g spot".  I just stared at him innocently, with no
expression.

	I love riding wave runners and I can just see what the new
"robo-fishy" wave 
	runners will look like in ten years from Japan.  It will sure
surprise the 
	spearfishing types with just a hawaiian sling!

	Can you imagine a school of nuke tipped "robotunas" (800 pounders)
breaking 
	near the surface of the Russian fleet or bottle nose dolphin robots
jumping 
	the bow wave of PRC warships and then "Boom" as the crew is taking
pictures 
	of the stealth dolphins!  Or a bionic whale with singing sounds
swimming up 
	to a "boomer" and then it explodes.  Green Peace would go completely
crazy 
	trying to save the "whales".

	It's going to happen.  Even as late as Vietnam, when I was born, who
would 
	have ever thought soldiers like Saddam's Republican Guard would
throw down 
	their weapons and do a mass surrender to the USAF's RPV's during the
gulf 
	war?  Cyber needle fish schools used to neutralize the Navy Seals as
"fish 
	grenades" via a satellite IR armed and triggered logic weapon.  My
dad is 
	into wild imagination too and bought me my first GPS and cell phone
in case 
	my sis and I ever got into trouble on a trip or vacation.  Maybe
I'll buy an 
	ELT, except hikers aren't allowed to set one off, I'm told.  Big fat
fine!  
	It's better than being dead.

	How about nuclear kelp? <grin>  OK, I'll stop now!  Thanks for your 
	invitation to Tommy, Vance, very kind of you.  I haven't seen any
recent 
	postings Tommy, my sister and I also know some karate (open hand)
defense 
	arts and graduated through 5 class steps so far with blows, kicks
and throws 
	and it keeps your muscles firm (sore) and figure trim as does my
scuba and 
	yoga.

	And, Al Secor, no sick jokes about three "new" dive sites off of
Martha's 
	Vineyard.  My sick humored friends here at work already know that
one.

	Back to work,  Bye, Ginger
