At random: The first boat known to have been navigated under water was built in 1620 by a Dutchman, Cornelius Van Drebbel. Van Drebbel is said to have developed a chemical which would purify the air and allow the crew to stay submerged for extended periods.

I'm not a fan of cranberries, but wasn't there a scare a decade or two ago when cranberries were pulled off the market? When was it, and what was the big deal? (extra points if you can link it to Al Gore!)

I think what triggered it was a reaction to Paul Harvey's broadcast today in which he gave a recipe for an enhancement for cranberries.....

Here's an article on what happened. Al was 11 at the time, but might have gotten diaper rash from too many of them. Hard to tell. (Grin)
