Mandy Lifeboats Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 In " Raiders Of The Lost Ark" the Nazis capture the ark and transport it by submarine. Indiana Jones is seen climbing onto the submarine. How did he survive the journey outside the sub? How did he avoid detection inside the sub? Why would the submarine travel the entire distance on the surface with such a valuable cargo. What happens when you put milk in a soda stream? Has anyone drunk fizzy milk? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Submarines travel faster surfaced using diesel engines whilst charging the electric engines used when submerged , the need to dive would only be if there was some form of threat which in 1936 there wouldn’t have been ? Hell of a long shot by Doctor Jones though Edited January 27, 2023 by tonyh29 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was in the DPRK I had an alcoholic milk drink that was made with fizzy rice wine , it was quite decent , enough that I had more than one at least where I’m not sure is that I think the milk element might have been lost in translation as I think even though the drink has a nickname of “ fight milk” I don’t think it contains any milk so soda-stream it might have to be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 When I worked in a bar I was able to sample most variations of most drinks. You could make a fizzy Baileys, but you couldn’t make a fizzy version of the knock off second tier brands like Irish Mist or Merlyn. Those ones would have a chemical reaction and separate.

Mark Albrighton Posted January 27, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted January 27, 2023 Similarly submarine related. 20,000 leagues under the sea, the 1954 version. Spoiler for something that happens about a third of the way into the film - If I remember correctly, Nemo tests the professor’s loyalty by locking him and his two companions out of the Nautilus and then going below water to see whether or not the professor would abandon his mates and take up Nemo’s offer of joining him. When they’re going under water, all three of them locked outside the Nautilus are holding onto the vessel with limited success (only Kirk Douglas has any joy, Peter Lorre is kidding himself). Why exactly would you hold onto it as it’s going under water? You haven’t got a great chance treading water in the open sea, but you have a lot more chance of survival than you have by holding both the submarine and your breath while it descends to the ocean floor. And if you’re calling his bluff, you may as well let go and just float until he comes back up. That’s my wondering about plot details in old films this week. Next week it’s why the Baileys seemingly built their homes on a cemetery in It’s a Wonderful Life. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the sub also dived as they left the ship the Germans had boarded , I seem to recall there is a scene where the boat crew are cheering him and he salutes them ? Googling it it appears The script originally had Jones using his whip and attaching himself to the submarines snorkel ( these weren’t invented at the time ) but apparently they forgot to film the screen !! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mandy Lifeboats Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 Ok……..whilst we are on the subject of milk……. Thousands of years ago an early human decided to drink the bodily fluids of a cow.

Quote All humans can digest milk in infancy. But the ability to do so as an adult developed fairly recently, likely in the past 6000 years. A handful of mutations allows adults to produce the enzyme lactase, which can break down the milk sugar lactose. Genes that enable what's called lactase persistence are widespread in modern Africa, which has four known lactase persistence mutations. (European populations rely on just one.)

We'd be pretty screwed as a species if infants couldn't digest milk. Lactase production has a cost and at some point was selected against past infancy. Once we domesticated cattle and had ready access to dairy products, the trait to maintain lactase production into adulthood would have started to be selected when it recurred. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to know how the actual **** they invented the cheese process. What they hell were they thinking mixing in the digestive juices on calves with milk. What on earth were they thinking? Next up, I wonder what happens if I scrape off the goop between a horses hoof and mash it together with crushed strawberries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted January 28, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted January 28, 2023 (edited) I've never tried milk in a soda stream but I did try and make orange milk by mixing it with orange squash. I can confirm that doesn't work and is **** horrible. Edited January 28, 2023 by sidcow 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
