Maybe Boroda is trying to infiltrate the "Evil Western World" and got lost heading East?

When I saw that thing, It looked like an old drawing I'd once seen of Bushnell's Turtle .

It was a replica (sort of) of the Turtle. I can't find a print copy, but I heard an MSNBC producer say it was an artist filming a movie about a nuclear revolutionary war submarine.

It was in NYC not LA.

A NUCLEAR REVOLUTIONARY WAR SUBMARINE?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

Sorry, RPM, I could'nt resist. I know it was a minor slip-up.

I'm being serious. That's what the producer said on MSNBC. He apparently knew who the guy was.

I looked and found several stories, but none mention the movie they were suppossedly filming.

Ah, rpm, I meant the nuclear part.

I know that was a slip-up. A nuclear sub from that idea would be preposterous.

HG Wells sold many a book about a victorian era submarine of an unknown power source and the mysterious Captain who was in command.

Which book would that be? Now Jules Verne wrote a book about a submarine.

No, seriously it wasn't a slip up. The guy may have been 180 off base, but he said it was part of a movie the artist was making and ID'd the guy live about 11amcdt. Now the producer may have been wrong, but that's what he said. I can't find anything to back up his claim, but you know how live news on the fly is.

Mea Culpa... my wee hours recall of sci fi writers is not up to par.

I aw a brief news blurb about it on National news, (NBC I believe) and all they said was that it was a prank done by some folks who created a replica Civil War sub. No mention about any movie at all.

Sounds like another who's on first bit of reporting again.

Prank? That's dumb. That's like calling the light-brite Aqua Teen Hunger Force signs "hoaxes".
