Spain and Morocco want to build an ambitious crossing over, or under, the Strait of Gibraltar by the beginning of the next decade. In this video, we'll explore the possibility of building a bridge or a tunnel between Europe and Africa and why the 2030 World Cup could be the spark that sets everything in motion.

Well, riding that toboggan behind the boat is fun too unless the driver is determined to give you a ride for your money by crossing wakes of other boats!

(Okay, even THAT is a lot of fun! Even preferred by some...:)

Heh, yeah, he was scoutmaster, and really enjoyed half-killin’ me that day, maybe I should have gotten a merit badge or something.

The U-505 was the first time I was on a sub. I was stationed in Great Lakes for electronics school and would take the train into Chicago whenever I could.

"Did they ask Britain if it wants a tunnel from Africa to its possession Gibraltar?"

Oh-oh, now you've done it. You're going to have the Spanish and Gibraltarians howling again..and the Brits snickering.

[rlmorel]

Your post made me really snort aloud, thinking what that merit badge would look like!

Something along these lines, but boating related:

There’s a decom US sub in Muskegon, needless to say I’ve never visited. ;^)

[SunkenCiv]

I’m stealin’ that. :^)

Reminds me of the opening scene from EL CID.

The Prophet has commanded us
to rule the world.
Where in all your land of Spain
is the glory of Allah?
When men speak of you,
they speak of poets...
music makers, doctors, scientists.
Where are your warriors?
You dare call yourselves
sons of the Prophet?
You have become women!
Burn your books.
Make warriors of your poets.
Let your doctors invent
new poisons for our arrows.
Let your scientists
invent new war machines.
And then, kill!
Burn.
Infidels live on your frontiers.
Encourage them to kill each other.
And when they are weak and torn...
I will sweep up from Africa...
and thus the empire of the one God,
the true God Allah...
- Allah is the one God.
- will spread.
First, across Spain.
Then, across Europe.
Then, the whole world!

But now they will do it UNDERGROUND!

I have seen an old illustration of the French. It shows balloons from France attacking England, ships attacking England, and an underground tunnel attacking England. Europe should beware a tunnel joining with Africa.

So the demented rabid worshipers of that murdering, child molesting Mahammad can have easier access to their latest conquests of Britain, France, and Germany...

They are building a solid access platform to coordinate with their ongoing conquest of North America...

[arizonarick]

Great idea, then the remaining Europeans can get out fast!.
Let’s call it the Saladin express tunnel! /s

Talk about dreamin' big, eh? :^) There was also a plan to turn a big chunk of the Sahara into a lake.
