How many Leagues are under the sea?

[taterguy]

The NFL plays on dry land.

Most events hosted by the League of Women Voters take place in auditoriums.

There are plenty of scuba diving organizations but I don't think very many call themselves leagues.

There sure as hell aren't 20,000.

Jules Verne is so full of shit.

3. I can't even fathom it.

[Wounded Bear]

4. It's actually the story of a ship wreck...

full of toys.

"League" is the French word for Lego.

[taterguy]

5. They didn't have Legos when Verne was alive

Of course they didn't have submarines either and that didn't stop him.

[El Supremo]

6. There were submarines in 1870.

1775


1863

[taterguy]

9. The vessels you posted had to surface for fresh air

They're not really submarines.

You should keep your trap shut if you don't know what the fuck you're talking about.

[El Supremo]

10. That's what I get from you when...

I just try to further your inadequate education.

[taterguy]

20. I will not be schooled about submarines by a Texan

Get back to me when you live in a state with a coastline.

[Revanchist]

24. The Gulf of Mexico dosen't count

as coastline? Who knew

[awoke_in_2003]

27. If you hang around a bit...

you will find these two are just fucking with each other. This is the Lounge

[Revanchist]

30. Ahhhh, my bad

I've been both a member and a lurker since the mid 2000's but don't spend a great deal of time in the lounge and don't always pay attention of the multitued of personalities here.

[awoke_in_2003]

31. I am relatively new to the Lounge, too...

don't sweat it, and enjoy your time here

[El Supremo]

7. Under the sea, Under the sea, Darling it's better Down where it's wetter, Take it from me.

[Chan790]

11. I never really realized until now how dirty that song is.

Really, that entire movie is tad risque for kids or would be if it didn't all go entirely over their heads.

8. You neglect the European Underwater Rugby League.

and 20,000 more where that came from.

[KamaAina]

12. Quite a few.

The USFL, WFL, WHA, ABA and NASL are all in Davy Jones' locker.

[Auggie]

13. All of them, after the ice caps melt

[EvilAL]

14. Synchronized swimmers

have leagues. Not necessarily 'under the sea', but some of them practice in the North Atlantic in water so frigid that you can only survive if your head is under water.

[panader0]

15. The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.

[madinmaryland]

16. There are 20,000 dumbasses under the League of Seas. nt

[taterguy]

19. Thanks for another insightful contribution to the discussion

NOT!

[KamaAina]

17. The Human League hasn't had a hit in ages

I guess no one wants them, baby.

[Dr. Strange]

29. Speak for yourself.

I for one am feeling fascination.

[KamaAina]

38. You know I am no stranger, I know rules are a bore

but just to keep you from danger, I am the law.

[trof]

18. About 2.25.

1 league = 3 miles
Deepest part of oceans 6.85 miles.
You could look it up.

[taterguy]

21. The ocean must have a depth of about 60,000 miles

In the fucked up world of Jules Verne.

[The Second Stone]

22. A submarine can travel horizontally for quite a distance

I think maybe even 20,000

[taterguy]

23. Way to miss the point

[petronius]

25. There are millions - or even billions - of fish schools under the sea

Do you seriously think that they don't have intramural leagues? How could they even be called 'schools' without athletics?

[Tuesday Afternoon]

26. There is a League of Nations under the sea and Atlantis is the capitol

[awoke_in_2003]

28. I don't know, but this is now running through my head

It was many and many a year ago,
In a kingdom by the sea,
That a maiden there lived whom you may know
By the name of Annabel Lee;
And this maiden she lived with no other thought
Than to love and be loved by me.


I was a child and she was a child,
In this kingdom by the sea,
But we loved with a love that was more than love—
I and my Annabel Lee—
With a love that the wingèd seraphs of Heaven
Coveted her and me.


And this was the reason that, long ago,
In this kingdom by the sea,
A wind blew out of a cloud, chilling
My beautiful Annabel Lee;
So that her highborn kinsmen came
And bore her away from me,
To shut her up in a sepulchre
In this kingdom by the sea.


The angels, not half so happy in Heaven,
Went envying her and me—
Yes!—that was the reason (as all men know,
In this kingdom by the sea)
That the wind came out of the cloud by night,
Chilling and killing my Annabel Lee.


But our love it was stronger by far than the love
Of those who were older than we—
Of many far wiser than we—
And neither the angels in Heaven above
Nor the demons down under the sea
Can ever dissever my soul from the soul
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;


For the moon never beams, without bringing me dreams
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And the stars never rise, but I feel the bright eyes
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And so, all the night-tide, I lie down by the side
Of my darling—my darling—my life and my bride,
In her sepulchre there by the sea—
In her tomb by the sounding sea.

32. One of my favorites.

[awoke_in_2003]

33. Would you believe...

I discovered this, and subsequently got into Poe, because of a Walton's episode? Grandpa wins a statue in a church raffle. The Baldwin's sisters father had it commissioned for Poe's Annabel Lee. The thing actually looked like the woman that Grandpa was seeing before Grandma came around. She was not very thrilled This reminds me, though, that I need to start re-reading Poe- it has been over a decade since I last did.

[In_The_Wind]

34. The first time I ever watched The Waltons was a few months ago.

My first stepmother loved Poe. I started reading his short stories before his poetry.

[awoke_in_2003]

35. I am 45...

so they were on when I was a kid. I have been watching them lately. I bought my wife the first six seasons on DVD because she likes the show. Grandpa was my favorite- he was always getting in trouble If right wingers knew that Will Geer was gay in real life their heads would explode.

[Kali]

36. vertically or horizontally?

[taterguy]

37. Yes
