   I suppose the submerged rudder and prop do work a bit better than the non submerged version, at least for boats !

[jaymac]

Surely all  props are submerged  albeit  either inside the hull (Jets) or outside the former being more manoeuvrable   not to mention is this not the jokes and section

[derekwarner]

Not really as silly as it sounds 


The manufacturer appears to be confirming the conventional propeller propulsion of the 'PCF' craft,  as distinct from the Patrol_Boat_River 'PBR' which from memory used a reversible 'water jet drive'..... and also used in the Vietnam theatre

Some boats have might  have Half submerged props not seen one  with None submerged props other than airboats. The  Pibber's drive wasn't reversible  it had buckets  which the jets fired into .Even without them they could turn on the spot

Being an Electrical Engineer, I get a perverse enjoyment from engineering jokes...  You've been warned!


Three engineers: an electrical engineer, a mechanical engineer, and a software engineer, were out for a ride in the mountains.  On the way down from the top of a particularly beautiful high pass, the car's brakes went out.  They went down and around, and around and down - barely missing a bus full of school kids.  Finally they crashed into the ditch.  Nobody was injured, but the car was totaled.  The electrical engineer and the mechanical engineer started arguing about the probable cause of the accident.  The mechanical engineer insisted that the hydraulic brakes had failed, while the electrical engineer insisted that the anti-lock braking system had failed.  The software engineer said "Can't we push it back to the top and recreate the problem?"


Three engineers: an electrical engineer, a mechanical engineer, and a Microsoft software engineer, were out for a ride when their car died.  (Different car and probably different engineers.)  The mechanical engineer said the problem was with the fuel system.  The electrical engineer said the problem was obviously with the ignition system.  The Microsoft engineer said "Let's get everybody out of the car, roll down all the windows and open all the doors.  Then we'll get everybody back in the car, close all the doors, and close all the windows.  Then the car will run again."

Three engineering students, an electrical engineering student, a mechanical engineering student, and a civil engineering student, were in a bar discussing what type of engineer God must be to be able to create the perfection that is Woman. (Betcha thought I was gonna say three engineers again didntcha?)  The mechanical engineering student said "Look at the joints, the flexibility, the freedom of movement...  God must be a mechanical engineer."  The electrical engineering student said "Nope, you're wrong.  Look at the way everything interacts, the brain, the nerves, the muscles...  It's ALL electrical man, God's an electrical engineer."  The civil engineering student said "You're both wrong, God's a civil engineer.  Who else would put a playground next to a toxic waste dump site?"

A couple are out playing golf and they were just chatting about things as you do.


She says, if I died would you ever get married again? He says no of course not but she is not convinced and pushes a bit. After a moment the man says, yes babe, I probably would. She's not too happy about this and thinks a bit.


She says, would you let her sleep in my bed? He says yes probably, again she's not too happy about this, and thinks a bit more..


She says, would you let her use my golf clubs, he says, no of course not she's left-handed!!

[jaymac]

She got on the plane and sat down in first class.

A few minutes later, a flight attendant came up to her and told her that her ticket was

for coach and she had to move from the seat.She refused.


The flight attendent was persistant, but the blonde replied,
“No, I want to sit here, I’ve always wanted to see what it is like in first class.”

The flight attendant was getting frustrated.

after quite some time, she convinced her to move.

Another passenger who overheard the conversation asked the attendent,
 
“How did you get her to move?”

The flight attendant replied,
“I told her that first class doesn’t stop in Detroit.”

Two men dressed in pilots’ uniforms walk up the aisle of the aircraft. Both are wearing dark glasses, one is using a guide dog, and the other is tapping his way along the aisle with a cane.Nervous laughter spreads through the cabin, but the men enter the cockpit the door closes, and the engines start up.The passengers begin glancing nervously around, searching for some kind of a sign that this is just a little practical joke. None is forthcoming.The plane moves faster and faster down the runway, and the people sitting in the window seats realize they’re headed straight for the water at the edge of the airport property.Just as it begins to look as though the plane will plow straight into the water, panicked screams fill the cabin.At that moment, the plane lifts smoothly into the air. The passengers relax and laugh a little sheepishly, and soon all retreat into their magazines and books, secure in the knowledge that the plane is in good hands.Meanwhile, in the cockpit, one of the blind pilots turns to the other andsays, ‘You know, Bob, one of these days, they’re gonna scream too late and we’re all gonna die

I hadn't completely scrolled down, and wondered where this cats eye on a road would be useful, maybe the trigger before batmans secret cave perhaps

[jaymac]

Cats Eye most are familiar about the guy who invented it being inspired when driving at night saw a cat coming towards him in his headlights. You seldom hear about the guy travelling at the same time, same road but coming from the opposite direction  who invented the pencil sharpener

Three statisticians are out hunting when they spot a trophy elk.  The first statistician takes aim and shoots - goes about ten feet to the left of the animal.  The second statistician raises his gun, shoots and misses ten feet to the right. 

The third statistician excitedly casts his gun aside and yells 'We got him, fellas!"
