It was my opinion that the kinks were caused by marine life. So I stayed up late one night and watched a rosette cast from start to finish, and I saw with my own eyes what caused the cable kinks. With my handy Nikon D70s, I produced this image:

Squit! cable kinks
There were some mysterious kinks in the cable for a few of the CTD casts last week. The cause was not known, but the working theory was that it had something to do with the rough weather causing the ship to roll, thereby introducing slack into the line. A slack line combined with deep ocean currents jerking the CTD package around probably created these irreparable kinks in the cable... but no one could figure it out for sure. There were no indications of unusual ship rolls or CTD movement.

I've noticed a particular iphone app that is exactly like a very popular board game that is only 8 years old. The developer is just some guy and obviously doesnt have any license to it because it's called a different name. Doesn't this violate some sort of copyright? (this reminds me of the facebook court case between scrabble and the guys who made scrabulous).
