  1. These boomers use passive sonar, they listen only. And both were super quiet. I doubt if either one could be heard at low throttle. combined with the thermoclines (layers of hot and cold water) around the Mediterranean outflow, they just never heard a thing.

    Or they were playing games with each other, trying to follow and/or get away.

    Nuclear stuff, the reactor is safe unless it is physically breached. Very hard to do. The weapons are just dangerous hot rocks in a can until armed. If they are in shallow water, you have to go get them or some one else will.

    +1

    I was stationed aboard both and they are very quiet.

    The boomers (nuclear missile boats) also travel at very slow speeds.

    I would say they were probably playing games lost each other in the thermal layers. Which is quite easy to do.

  2. I highly doubt they really sat down at a table and went "Alright guys, we've gotta convert more people to our cause, how's an ad on the side of a bus sound?"

    I think it's much more probable that the ad is more of an image-builder than anything. To me, the ad basically says "Why worry about a higher power, just be happy anyway". I think many people view atheists as angry, baby-eating, evil people. This ad puts them in a more positive light by saying that atheists are just like anyone else...all they want to do is enjoy their lives.

    Also, this is a bit off-topic, but am I the only one who seems to notice more pissed off, unhappy Christians ranting about their beliefs than pissed off, unhappy atheists/agnostics ranting about theirs? Christians need to lighten the hell up. (no pun intended)

    That's because the religious right can see their grip on peoples lives slipping and they are pissed about it.

  3. Everyone get your tinfoil hats out.. I hope you all realize that there are plenty of military jets capable of creating a sonic booms and those flyboys dont always listen to the rules when flying from one base to another. Almost any of the fighter jets at our military bases have the ability to create a sonic boom.

    I actually had a layer placed under my scalp.

    Gotta be stealthy with them little green bastards.

    Not that I know they are bastards or anything.
