Royal Gills
BBCnews is carrying this article on the development of a working "artificial gill", potentially allowing human divers the ability to breathe underwater without the need for tanks. The technology is still in its primitive stages, and the article has a litany of things which need to be addressed before the diving community at large will start to take it seriously.
His Rooooyal Gills!

Imagine the Palestinian take on this. "Damn it, Mohammed! Now even driving them into the sea won't be the end of them!"
No doubt the UN will soon condemn this technology as "aparteid."
You know, I think I remember seeing a similar or even identical take on this story over on TBIFOC.
Oh well. If you gotta steal ideas, steal from the best.
