Well, as long as it isn't "take out the new guy". Cool idea, but I'd certainly try it with cameras first...besides, can you really see more while you're trying to steer that thing from inside of it?

Now, if you can make it swim like a shark, then that would be incredible. But I think that technology for that is several decades (or centuries) away.]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/03/21/fabien-cousteaus-one-man-shark-sub-for-swimming-with-the/http://www.engadget.com/2005/03/21/fabien-cousteaus-one-man-shark-sub-for-swimming-with-the/

From the article: "in 1989 his father deployed a shark look-alike vehicle that was attacked by a large female Great White and completely destroyed. Fabien is undaunted; Troy, he points out, is an utterly different beast." Yeah. Look for a Darwin Award nomination real soon.

- Jasen.

P.S. We happened to be watching Wild Kingdom last night and they had some fool who stuffed herself in a plastic log contraption to get "amazingly" close to some lions snacking on a fresh kill. They used their Land Cruiser to push the log up next to the lions. So you have a truck 6 feet away from the lions, with this log-thingy putting the "researcher" nose-to-nose with the lions. The voice track was like, "Look how amazingly close Jane is to the lions. This is unprecedented close-up study of lions eating. Blah. Blah."

Anyway, I found it thoroughly ridiculous. This story just continues the trend.]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/03/21/fabien-cousteaus-one-man-shark-sub-for-swimming-with-the/http://www.engadget.com/2005/03/21/fabien-cousteaus-one-man-shark-sub-for-swimming-with-the/
The only natural predator that a great white has is another great white. I'd think twice about disguising myself as the one thing that a great white has reason to be scared of or mad at.]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/03/21/fabien-cousteaus-one-man-shark-sub-for-swimming-with-the/http://www.engadget.com/2005/03/21/fabien-cousteaus-one-man-shark-sub-for-swimming-with-the/Dec 19th 2005 12:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/03/21/fabien-cousteaus-one-man-shark-sub-for-swimming-with-the/http://www.engadget.com/2005/03/21/fabien-cousteaus-one-man-shark-sub-for-swimming-with-the/

"When I was seven years old I read a Tintin story called ‘Rackham le Rouge,’ where he makes a sub in the shape of a shark and goes underwater. Since then I’ve always wanted to build a shark sub."

Why don't read the entire 3-page article before spewing drivel such as:

"...Does anyone really think that a shark will believe that this big clumsily-swimming thing that isn't busy terrorizing Richard Dreyfus is a shark?"

The man usually doesn't say much but when he does chances are it's either relevant and/or funny.

PS: killer whales have been found to have made a snack out of a smaller great white. overall the two tend to not get along too well, you never know which one of them will be dinner.
