   Soooooo super FRESH. That sub reminds me of the Shark Sub that Tintin and Captain Haddock dove with in "Red Rackham’s Treasure"

   Or course, there is a real shark sub now…

   cool comparison….. The inventor of deepflight found himself dancing with a curious eagle ray…. Moving like they do might be a signal of kinship… and may be required to express universal gestures for play…

   Awesome! I can’t wait until we can re-wire ourselves to speak the underwater body languages!

   Of course, I’m still trying to learn the bee dance language! Its all in the local dialects. 😉

   The rays are perhaps the most fluid and graceful of all animals I have seen. Hydrondynamics in continuous motion. Once seen, never forgotten. And now we have taken steps in their direction. Kudos to the sub designers.

   …Getting back to bees and natural locomotion, they just figured out how bees fly. Take that, you I.D. freakers!
