Big thinkers. Now if there is any darning thread involved we will know for sure there are MIT geniuses involved. BTW sub, my cousin died on a sub after he survived the sinking of the Squalus just before WWII. He was the radioman and came up in the last bell with the captain. Then he went on to die a couple years later.

Cousin was a genius, I guess. This MIT idiot wouldn't have gotten on another sub.

That was a pretty famous incident, and a harrowing one at that from what I know about it. Sorry to hear about losing him later. He will be remembered as a hero by his shipmates.
