Adrian,

I've found a real comfortable way to drive.  I don't wear my seatbelt.
I've been doing ever since I learned to drive.  It hasn't hurt me yet, so
it must be the right way.  I think everyone should drive without wearing a
seatbelt.

Get the point?

This is the kind of mindless crap that gets people killed. I will say right
here and now that you can come up with no reason to do something that stupid
that makes any sense what so ever. Give it a try.

manifold. I've dived twins before, independents because of fiscal reasons (I'm
a poor student!) What I need to know is this. Some of the people I have talked
to who dive manis only open their iso knob about 1/2 a turn, whilst others open
it all the way. Thinking about it I can see advantages and disadvantages to
both:
