Some people assured me the Disney NAUTILUS was an unfeasible design:  others
drove by while I was unloading steel and called out "It aint never gonna
float!"   I'd hear comments like "It can't be done!"  (Or) "Why don't you
just go over Niagara Falls in a barrel?"  (Or) "Oh yeah, he'll go down
alright; ABOUT SIX FEET!  HA!"  (Funny, though: after the boat became
operational, all those naysayers stopped coming around.)
