Now that was a great reply!

And I'd bet he plays a mean game of Nautical Quiditch also. I'd further
surmise he rides nothing less than a Nimbus and can catch a flaming
snitch in the crack of his arse on the fly.

No Quiditch in the latest movie. Disappointed I was.

talking like yoda you are. mixed metaphor it is.

care I don't.

Good morning, Tom. How's the arm today?

ok - pain pump is out now - hurts a lot until i take the magic pill
and then everybody goes away in a pink fog. i try not to take them
until i can't stand it anymore. which will probably be about five
minutes from now.

Good to see you back Tom.

Sooooooooo..........................can anyone venture a guess to my
Jeopardy post?

A modified mine sweeper used for oceanographic research starting in 1950 by
an extraordinary man born in France in 1910.



It was answered by Skipper 4 minutes after you posted the "answer".

Jacques-Yves Cousteau was born on June 11, 1910, in
Saint-André-de-Cubzac (Gironde) in France. He entered the naval academy
in 1930, was graduated and became a gunnery officer. Then, while he was
training to be a pilot, a serious car accident ended his aviation
career. So it was the ocean that would win this adventurer's soul. In
1936, near the port of Toulon, he went swimming underwater with goggles.
It was a breath-taking revelation.

Seeking a way to explore underwater longer and more freely, he
developed, with engineer Emile Gagnan, the Self-Contained Underwater
Breathing Apparatus, or scuba, in 1943, and the world under the sea was
opened up to human beings. After World War II, Cousteau, along with
naval officer Philippe Tailliez and diver Frédéric Dumas, became known
as the " mousquemers " (" musketeers of the sea ") as they carried out
diving experiments in the sea and laboratory. In 1950, Calypso, a former
mine-sweeper, was modified into an oceanographic vessel, endowed with
instruments for diving and scientific research, and the great adventure
began. She and her crews explored the seas and rivers of the world for
the next four decades

Commodore Joe Redcloud also responded with the correct answer. I'd
suggest you are the wrong person to start such a game. Perhaps a
brighter light should conduct the next challenge.
