There's an interesting article in the May issue of Smithsonian about Zhorzh Koval, a GRU cold war spy, a sleeper agent who was "Iowa born and army-trained". I read it on paper but they've got it on their website. I read a lot of cold-war fiction when I was younger, this sounds like it came right out of one of those novels.

I love this picture. Water movement of any kind fascinates me, but look at that.

Make you want to go surfing??
I've never surfed! It's something I'd love to learn, it looks incredibly fun. This picture just awed me because of the colors and the raw physical power of water movement. Fluid dynamics is an interesting subject I wish I'd studied. I have a rudimentary knowledge of air & ocean currents but want to know more.
Good subject. I've been trained in that quite a bit; but there is a lot that is either not known. Also there is plenty that we know experimentally, but have trouble fitting into a tractable mathematical model.
Though a good CFD code can be as fun as nude body surfing...maybe.
Nude body surfing > computational fluid dynamics
I was afraid that I'd offended your sensibilities.
I guess it is all depending on water temperature. :-)
Ya, interesting the cold water effect on men vs women!
Don't worry about my sensibilities, sheesh! I'm more open minded than you realize, apparently. I've been swamped at work, hence the delayed response.
I've yet to read anything 'offensive' that you've written, and I'm amused at your handling of certain subjects - you're bold without being crass, it's great.
