Lest we forget.
The world's greatest navigator is a homing pigeon and it has a brain the
size of a pea.
Just kidding.

Leave it to a mate to foul things up. :-)
Just kidding again! Engineers and mates - a unique symbiosis.

Had to look it up - huh?
A Captain and Chief Engineer decided to switch jobs for a day. After
about 1 hour the captain called the bridge and told the Chief 'I can't
get this damn thing to run down here!' The Chief Replied 'It's OK we're
aground!'

Maybe not. Chances are, you'd probably attract Navy engineroom vets as
opposed to the engineroom workers from merchant ships. That's becuse
there's a lot more of us Navy vets around.
Even so, the newsgroup would probably have low traffic. There is a
general purpose Navy newsgroup where engineering types are outnumbered by
all others. That is sci.military.naval. Your best bet is alt.mariners as a
catch-all newsgroup for old merchant sailors of all flavours. Note that it
will likely attract old Navy people too.
Good luck...

Arctic terns beat pigeons hands down. They commute something like 12,000
miles a year. The longest commute recorded for an arctic tern is 14,000
miles! The bird was tagged in Russia and recaptured in Australia after it
circled Africa during the commute.

I now consider myself a sailor of the land. That's what cars are for. :)
Given how people normally drive, you'd think that speed limit signs are
calibrated in knots as opposed to land mph. And people exceed the knots of
the signs!

Humans never fly. They either ride a flying bus or drive it.
