Something smells off here.

I have it. The Oasis does not smell like tuna. It smells like salmon.

Slightly off topic (from MacGyver), why was the A-Team always captured and locked in a fully equipped machine shop - and, for bonus points, how come they couldn't hit a barn door with an M16 assault rifle but were crack shots with custom made cabbage throwers?

That's because they weren't allowed to maim and kill the bad guys. I hated that show.

You only like shows where people get maimed and killed?

Ah, yes the not allowed to kill anyone bit. I always enjoyed the helicopter crashing in to the hill, exploding, falling to the ground, exploding again and then 2 people getting out and staggering away.

How did Airwolf get away with it? Stringfellow racked up a hell of a bodycount with missiles and a handgun.

Does Oasis have bluetooth?
Just spotted this article with a link to the FCC documents. I don't know if it means anything but bluetooth in the Oasis could be interesting.

I just looked at the Bluetooth button on my Amazon Tap in order to answer that question.

Because the creators of Airwolf were smarter.
That was a creative decision not a censorship reason.

Proof sounds better than resistant. So I'm surprised Samsung says water resistant when their device is slightly better than Kobo's water proof device. Maybe they're under different regulations. Or maybe Samsung doesn't want people to push the limit.

The H20 is suppose to be good for 30 minutes submerged up to one meter with the port closed. That's more than enough for my bathtub!

Just like The Hulk from the same time period. The Hulk would use his mighty strength to throw the bad guys into dumpsters, flower beds and pools. No one ever got more than shaken up.

I could see an argument being made that this was the influence of Banner on the Hulk. He couldn't stop the violence, but he could temper it down.
