Hey, they very well may hold several records from their most recent attempt.... Don't knock them just because they hold records in OTHER categories.... Most idiots in one place at one time.... Biggest technological CF of all time.... Most days spent near a cave while swimming the least distance.... Broadest "smoke and mirrors" application of any scientific endeavor... need I go on? "Record breaking" can mean a lot of things! Case Harris diveman@cy*.co* Incidentally, when I was cleaning off some dive gear this week, I too broke a record.... it was my old VanHalen "Jump" single... on vinyl... fell right off the shelf and shattered on the cement garage floor. Of course, if it had been properly secured using a non-metal-to-metal connection as outlined in the DIR II video, it wouldn't have fallen, but let's not get me started on DIR feng shui! *GRIN* ----- Original Message ----- From: Trey <trey@ne*.co*> To: Mcinnis, Don <Don.Mcinnis@in*.co*> Cc: <techdiver@aquanaut.com> Sent: Thursday, May 11, 2000 6:35 AM Subject: Re: Tech 2000 Exhibition Maybe Mouth can tell us what the "record" is.
