November 13, 2008: ROMEO

ROMEO, oh ROMEO, where in hell are you Romeo?

Quote:

A cable portrudes from the ice wall at Explorer's Cover, New Harbor, McMurdo Sound in this photo taken on November 12, 2005. The cable was used for the Remotely Operable Micro-Environmental Observatory (ROMEO), an underwater camera. Connected to onshore equipment and linked by radio to the Internet, ROMEO allowed scientists to study benthic fauna year-round.

Benthic; adjective: of or relating to or happening on the bottom under a body of water.
I don't know about you, but my benthic gets all wrinkly, like a white prune, under a body of water.

Cables shouldn't be portruding. That's just not right.

Some teenage seal has it tacked to his bedroom wall...

Hey now, don't knock sending high-speed porn to the sharks. Maybe it will keep them to occupied to attack us now.

those critters in the foreground are purty. Purty, purty sea critters. Though, as is well known, I fear the sea. Gots monsters innit.

uni is only for impressing your date. no one actually enjoys it.

plus.....it can kill you.

I had to look up Uni - over here it's most commonly used as an abbreviation for University.

I'd try it (okay, not if it cost a fortune). I haven't met anything fishy I didn't like so far.
