Subject: Re: Immersed Rebreather Article
Rich, George, I have a suggestion. Get someone with a video camera. Go 
outside with them and one other person with a tape measure. Draw a line 
in the sand/dirt or chalk on asphalt/lava. On a day when there is no 
wind, take videographer, go to the line, drop your drawers, grab your hoses 
and piss directly ahead while being videotaped. Measure the distance and 
report back to us. Make sure all of this is on tape and we will announce 
a winner. Rod
