Such a beautiful sediment...




(Thanks, Trevor!)

Naming Conundrum

Jane and John were childhood sweethearts who grew up and eventually married.

Time passed and they had a beautiful baby girl, but there was only one problem. They couldn’t decide on a name for their newborn baby girl. They’d narrowed it down: John liked Cohen, and Jane liked Carmen, but they couldn’t break the deadlock.

Being so in love Jane and John decided not to argue but to give the little girl both names, and people could call her whichever they liked best. John called her Cohen and Jane called her Carmen.


Unfortunately, by the time she was 18, the poor girl didn’t know if she was Carmen or Cohen.

What rhymes with "Friday"?




(Thanks, Danielle W!)

Consider, if you will...

Consider, if you will, 
the case of the awkward bumblebee who became ill 
while gathering pollen but continued to work.
 Unfortunately, he thus infected all the flowers with his virus. 
The consequences are recorded in the annals of horticulture as 


. . . the blight of the fumble bee.

Definitely Science


You know you're addicted to scuba diving when...

1.You flunked high school physics but you amazingly can calculate the partial pressure of a gas in equilibrium and its solubility and absorption rate by the body during a dive using Henry’s Law!

2. Every morning the sound of shaving foam (psshhhht) makes you want to go diving.

3. You’re the only one of your office buddies that doesn’t snicker when the word “off-gassing” is mentioned.

4. You get out of bed in the morning by doing a back-roll.

5.You’ve never watched Star Wars but you’ll watch “The Abyss”, “Men Of Honor” or “Deep Blue Sea” 100 times.

6. Then you finally start watching the Star Wars movies and think to yourself “Man, Darth Vader really needs to get that regulator replaced!”  

7. You show up at your neighborhood swimming pool during the off-season in full dive gear hoping to log some bottom time.

8. You’re the only one who isn’t blushing when you ask your friends, “Want to see some Nudi pictures?

9. You have more ‘C’ cards than credit cards in your wallet.

10. You’re more worried about your divers' insurance payments than your health insurance.

11. Your preferred method of getting high is to get narked on a deep dive.

12. When your kid’s first words are PA-DI instead of Dad-dy.

13. You see a perfectly good ship and think. “Boy, that would sure make a nice wreck to dive in!”

14. You spend most of your time picking apart the unrealities in the latest Hollywood diving flick rather than watching the movie.

15. You automatically equalize your ears by performing the Valsalva maneuver every time you step into an elevator.

16. You answer “Suunto” when asked what kind of computer you use.

17. You spit on your car windshield to prevent it from fogging up.

18. You can’t afford a wristwatch because you spent all your money on an expensive dive computer instead. 

19. While others long for Rolex, Omega or Tag Heuer on their wrists you’d settle for a Mares, Suunto  or Oceanic.

20. When you think your neighbors’ vacation to Belize was a waste of money because they didn’t do any diving.

21. When getting a “reverse squeeze” has nothing to do with your girlfriend grabbing your butt!

22. You can’t remember your wedding anniversary but always know when Discovery Channels “Shark Week” is on.

23. You get excited about the viz while you go swimming in a pool.

24. The only suit in your closet besides your wedding suit…is your wetsuit

25. And you need serious help… if your wedding suit IS your wetsuit.
