I didn't realize the Space Shuttle was designed to disarm mines.

At least your math is good - that helps, you know, for rebreather diving 
and stuff. By the way, I think the Sand Tigers are worth at least a 
factor of four, maybe more.  Incidently, did I tell you that last week I 
was diving my rebreather over 3000 feet of water off San Diego, wearing a 
chain mail shark suit, with Makos and Blues around?  The Blues are 
pretty, so they don't add to the degree of difficulty, but the Makos look 
similar to the Sand Tigers when viewed head on, so they must be worth 
something.
