Keep an eye out for these: I like useful militaria. This is a Confederate Navy 'torpedo' (that's what they called mines, back in the day). The one in this picture is located in the Civil War Navy Museum in Columbus, Georgia. The moat is liberally seeded with them. No diving or boating.... http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2005/02/to_keep_ya_occupied_while_we_return.html http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2005/02/to_keep_ya_occupied_while_we_return.html Sat, 05 Feb 2005 21:22:10 -0600 Well, at least I didn't make any snarks about the "middenly virtues"... http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2005/02/to_keep_ya_occupied_while_we_return.html#comment-14087 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2005/02/to_keep_ya_occupied_while_we_return.html#comment-14087 Wed, 09 Feb 2005 06:30:34 -0600 NOW he tells me about the middens *rubbing noggin* http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2005/02/to_keep_ya_occupied_while_we_return.html#comment-14035 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2005/02/to_keep_ya_occupied_while_we_return.html#comment-14035 Tue, 08 Feb 2005 14:40:30 -0600 Sarge B - Damien stashed a couple in the oubliette. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2005/02/to_keep_ya_occupied_while_we_return.html#comment-13966 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2005/02/to_keep_ya_occupied_while_we_return.html#comment-13966 Mon, 07 Feb 2005 15:21:32 -0600 Umm... About them mines... Seems a SEAL feller needed to get some dive qual time last week, an' he got a little bored... But they make GREAT kegs!

I prefer cement ponds. However, I have been known to waterski...and my pilot friend threatened to buzz the lake whenever we went up there.

Sounds like you HAVE been swimming in the moat. I guess we needs to fit Castle Argghh with a filtration system so that in times of seige we can fish and get potable water.

Negative danger unless you bump your head on one doin' a half-gainer into the moat. On the other hand, somebody who got into the Drambui the other day mistook the moat for the garderobe and the water's now 65 degrees above ambient.
