One of the methods used by submarines is ultra low frequency radio, sometimes abbreviated ELF. This did freak out the rural neighbors where some of the antenna were put down amidst high secrecy during the Cold War (some of my relatives included), since they are perhaps a mile long. But, it is not telepathy.

Nope, in fact I am in a private high school in Canada. Still, my school is very liberal, for example no special clothes are required. All my other teachers are ok.

Man will not truly be free until the last king is hung by the entrails of the last priest while gaged with the remains of the last teacher.

I believe it also freaks out Wales, I remember reading that this form of ELF communication causes some Wales to beach themselves, messes up their sense of direction or sonar seeing.

The only thing freaky about Wales is a serious vowel shortage. Whales, in contrast may be freaked out by submarine activity, although I think it may be sonor rather than ELF that does it to them.

Cool

I didn't think it was a shortage of vowels so much as a glut of consonants....

Take half of them out and the words look like they'd almost be halfway normal....

Give your classmates some credit. I had a fourth grade teacher who taught us that Australia was a "disease free" continent named after a country in Europe (presumably she ment Austria), and that each state was a separate nation with thier own language and culture. She also taught us that ice cream has antifreeze in it and that meat int the supermarket is made to look nice and red with highly toxic chemicals. Even though we were only 8 years old we all knew she was an idiot.

Because I'm offering $18.50, and I got loads of replies. It doesn't cost me, as I am charging Bin Laden $500 a time not to grass him up.
