#3 LOFL! Dirk Pitt, DEER LOWARD, I haven't thought about those things in forever.

#6 Crowds of well-meaning people gathered, taking turns pouring seawater over the stranded device. Experts called in expressed doubt that the device could survive and be returned to the ocean. A discussion is underway to determine if the device could be moved to an aquarium, or if it has been to damaged to survive even in captivity.

#7 Gee, thanks Chuck! I had a mouthful of pizza when I read that.
