They move along pretty well too, at almost 9 ft/s. More technical information on how they are built is available on a Berkeley page, and there's a video of the winning run for 2002."

    Are hard to understand without both a subject and a verb. Though not as complicated as the underwater vehicles.

    I read fps as frames per second. My first thought was they need a Geforce4 to go faster.

    modded to troll? that hurts! You know, even though my profile SAYS excellent (or whatever), deep deep down, I know it's really just a 49. And that hurts. *sniff* Whoever you are, modder, you've done a great disservice to my ego.

    (btw this post was ALSO just silly off-topic carp, and/or sarcasm)

    I know this is offtopic, but I have to ask this anyhow.

    None of your replies in this forum have displayed the same disquieting grammar that your story submission did. Clearly, you're a reasonably intelligent dude. So what happened to the story? Were you drunk, or is english not your first language, or did you just flip the first comma into a period, or what?
