Title: sunken Gnome garden of death

Post by: kasperl on February 16, 2005, 12:45:35 pm: Right.

And the only reason the cops want to go down there at all is because other people might go down there to watch the, err, garden gnomes?

Darwin must be spinning fast enough to power a small village.

"But now there's a rumour about a new garden beyond the 50m depth limit.

"As police divers we can't legally dive any deeper so, if it exists, the new garden could have been purposefully put out of our reach."

Now that I know where to put the body I've just got to figure out who I don't like :devil:

Post by: Dark_4ce on February 16, 2005, 03:47:14 pm: I once went diving off the coast of Finland to check out a really old shipwreck. Mind you, this wasn't no cool ship wreck. And visibility was puke green at 20cm from your glasses. Dark and cold. All you got was your diving computer and coordinates. Took us about 30 mins to find the site and we stayed there for about 10. All it was was a few wooden beams partially submerged by the silty bottom. Dunno why, but it was really cool. So I guess I can understand why divers would go in search of a gnome garden. To be honest I even thought "heh, cool." Like a lost treasure or something. But I'm not that stupid to go by myself.

Post by: Carl on February 16, 2005, 08:19:57 pm: Lib, 50 meters is really deep.

Post by: Flipside on February 16, 2005, 09:04:29 pm: I'll put it this way, if you really want to see a gnome, go to a Garden Centre.
Title: sunken Gnome garden of death
Post by: kasperl on February 17, 2005, 02:52:41 am: 50 meters means what, 5 atmosphere pressure?
That's a _lot_.

Post by: Liberator on February 17, 2005, 08:18:27 am: exactly how do you grow mary jane underwater? and yes i realize that 50m is very deep, but the average scuba diver can go a bit deeper than that with sufficient time and breathing mixture.

Magic gnome dust.

Post by: Grey Wolf on February 17, 2005, 07:17:23 pm: You watch out for those gnomes. One minute you're diving, looking at their garden, and then they reach up and drag you to the bottom, and then hold you there until you drown.
