We interrupt this program to bring you some breaking news from our Truth-is-Stranger-Than-Fiction editor. Over to you, Bob: <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lockheed_Martin_Cormorant> Fortunately the project was cancelled, and I know why. I quote "To keep the Cormorant watertight, the doors, inlets, and any covers required inflatable seals." Now, I don't know if you ever tried to inflate a seal, but believe me, when they're flappin' around as you try to apply your lips to the appropriate blowhole, those flippers can really scratch.
