This year’s Beijing Military Expo opened on June 5th, but it wasn’t the tanks, missiles, and other potentially lethal military equipment that drew reporters’ attention, it was a rather strange arowana fish swimming in a large water tank installed on site. At first glance, it was just a fish that seemed to swim and behave normally. It would swim around normally, and raise its head for a while whenever it reached a wall, then just wing its tail again and swim in another direction. At first glance, its appearance and movements were those of an actual fish, and it was only on close inspection that one realized this was an advanced fish-like robot.

How can it navigate in China’s polluted waters?

I was wondering about the battery life as well.

It’s that gay fish dude.

I heard a guy got a job in the factory manufacturing those fish drones. Said he was working for scale.

((If Henny Youngman could use that joke, so can I.))

Jules Verne was so far ahead of his time.

Missing soundtrack:

“Don’t gimme any lip.”

Yes, but can the Chinese overcome the Japanese lead in Space Battleship Technology. Can they? Huh?

Will the call to have them banned when large prey animals die trying to eat them the same way that sea creatures died from plastic bags and straws be successful?

Thanks for the Seaview gif.

One of my all time favorite shows (I have it complete on DVD, naturally).

The theatrical movie one (1961) had Admiral Nelson (Walter Pidgeon) refuse to save the submarine by fighting back when about to be destroyed “Stop! We can’t fire upon a ship from the United Nations!”
My least favorite line.

Time reviewer said of the film: “Fully a third of the footage is devoted to views of Barbara Eden running places in a skin tight skirt.”
It’s obvious males used to be sexist in those far past days. Not today.

I caught one like that the other day and threw it back in ... I guess I shouldn’t have.

Now THAT was the coolest sub evah! And it was done back when Disney created quality stuff.
