Part of an article I was reading earlier tonight...

Quote
It did not end there. More sightings followed, although again none could be identified. In 2011 a raft frozen in ice caused another panic. Again in 2015 when they found a real Russian sub… which had sunk in Swedish waters in 1916.

Submarine panic continued to grip Sweden until the Swedish Peace and Arbitration Society (SPAS) had had enough.

On April 27, 2015, they launched their own defensive network – the Singing Sailor Underwater Defense System, better known as the “gay sailor.” It is a neon sign with a half-naked dancing sailor surrounded by hearts.

In case the Russians do not understand, it emits a Morse code signal in English and Russian which states: “This way if you’re gay.”

It also has a written message which reads: “Welcome to Sweden: Gay since 1944” (Sweden decriminalized homosexuality that year). Given Russia’s increasingly anti-LGBT laws, it might be more effective than NATO and the Swedish defense network.

For anyone who wants to read the full article... https://www.warhistoryonline.com/instant-articles/swedens-defense-russian-submarines.html

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    Lesson Learned:
    • Osmosis: os·mo·sis (oz-mo'sis, os-) n., 1. When a bird eats something.
