| #4 That would be most interesting, Glenmore. Wonder if that happened, and it came out that the Jooooooos were involved in, would the families still be willing to bury them? I mean, those Joooooo cooties might be catching.... :-D |

| #3 Salvage ship or deep-sea oil field robot sub diverted/borrowed/side-contracted from the Israeli gas field work? It's not far away and they have to have such available there. |
