Was bored so I looked up how deep 500 meters is it's 130 feet or 12 stories if you prefer fun fact no? Also 130 feet you can only stay a few minutes before needing decompression stuff I saw mentioned

    It's been over 45 years since I had Freshman Physics (F=MA) but I thought a meter was 3.39 feet?
    Let's, 3*5=15, hmmm... carry the 1 uhhh. OK, I was always better at calc, especially when I got to
    Statistics, Calculus started to make cents, errrr, sense.

    500 feet is 152.4 meters, you converted the wrong way. 500 meters is 1640.4 feet.

    yep, after further thought I realized that if a hundred meters was 339 feet, well...

    The Foot was measured off of King Henry I of England's foot, which was 12 inches.

    Very interesting, I guess that when you're the King you usually get what you want.
    I'm only related to Henry XIII a few gerations later by marriage through Catherine and Ann Bolin?
    Both lost their heads. I really want to go see the family castle though in Arundle Norfolk?
    It's about 50 miles SW of London. Been in the family shortly after the Battle of Hastings around 1081AD?
