Here is some great thinking to float around!

Officially thinking, and according the Wikepedia, A think tank is an organization, institute, corporation, or group that conducts research, typically funded by governmental and commercial clients, in the areas of social or political strategy, technology, and armament.
-The hundreds of creative people who think about using this phrase might think that definition is boring.
Actually people have only been thinking of using the term since the 1950s when it was originated. During the Second World War, officials used think of think tanks as "brain boxes.”
Marketing or public relations organizations also think of themselves as think tanks. In a creative environment the act of excessive thinking in a ‘think tank’ sort of way is also thought of as ‘brainstorming.’
When some people think about a tank they think about SCUBA Diving. -SCUBA is an acronym for Self-Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus. Thinking of it as SCUBA is a lot easier

-There are six general classifications of SCUBA diving to think about. People who think they want to learn to SCUBA must become certified divers. It is not a good idea to think about doing SCUBA without training and certification. Think about the estimated 150 people who die each year from diving. However, think about comparing that number to more than 50,000 deaths caused by car accidents and the more than 350 people who die in the U.S. each year from falling into a bathtub. That is something to think about.

People have been thinking about ways to breath under water for hundreds of years. In 16th century England and France, full diving suits made of leather were used to depths of 60 feet.
People started thinking about the term SCUBA during World War II and it originally referred to USA combat frogmen's oxygen re-breathers for underwater warfare.
It is hard to think about SCUBA and not think about Jacques-Yves Cousteau. Cousteau was a French naval officer, explorer, ecologist, film maker, scientist, photographer and researcher who studied the sea and all forms of life in water. He was a co-thinker and creator of the aqua-lung, pioneered marine conservation and was a member of the Académie française. He spent most of his life thinking about SCUBA diving. |
Think about this! Singer/songwriter John Denver did a lot of thinking about Cousteau and in 1975, he composed the song "Calypso" as a tribute to Cousteau and his research ship Calypso. Listeners thought it was a great song and it reached the number one position on the Billboard 100 charts.
SCUBA diving is so popular that more than one million people think to get certified every year. Once you are certified you can think about scuba diving just about anywhere including ponds, rivers, pools, lakes and the ocean.
