Subject: Brain Failure was Re: wing failure
The real questions are , "where did all this extra weight come from",
and "why are we diving an unblanced rig?". I can see this being the case
if you are taking a "course" from some farm animal stupid intrructor who
is bound to follow the ridiculous institutionalized baboonery of some
dislexic moron who never did a real dive in his life, or some huge fat
slob deep air diving blowhard, but once off on your own, how can you
possibly be this freaking stupid?

The answers and solutions are so simple, the convolutions and
clusterfucks so obviously inane. Where's the beef?
