<scromp> I made a submarine out of a large trash can
<scromp> seriously
<scromp> nearly died in that fucker
<hide> one of those things you do as a kid.
<Gielguld> how deep did you go?
<hide> about 6 1/2 inches.
<scromp> sigh
<hide> sorry
<scromp> olympic pool
<hide> geez where'd you do this?
<hide> at least I used an acceptable number. I could have said 1/4 of inch.
<Gielguld> did it actually hold air?
<scromp> yeah
<scromp> it worked
<scromp> however
<scromp> the dumbass 3rd grader manning the air hose got bored and wandered off
<scromp> after a ball or something
<scromp> and, well
<scromp> you've heard of a "siphon" right?
<scromp> well suddenly I'm at the wrong end of it
<Gielguld> "SEAL OFF DECK 1" "THERE'S ONLY ONE DECK SIR!"
<scromp> luckily we had a contingency plan
<scromp> which consisted of the test pilot (me) having a big sharp knife
<scromp> in my escape, I nearly stabbed one of my external support personnel in the
 throat
<scromp> that was actually the closer call, than me drowning
* Gielguld laughs out loud
