The Aqua Man

(Click on the picture to calculate the distance between Aquaman
and Aqua (No. Aqua is not the name of the girl))

"It's a frog" croaked the old man.

"It's a dolphin!" yelped the excited pretty young thing.

"No..It's Praveen 'The Aqua man'" squeaked the five year old kid who watches a lot of cartoons but can see things for what they are.

The Aqua Man dived with the precision of a speeding bullet on it's way to meet the pre-frontal lobe of a demented politician. He met the tensed surface of water (The water was tensed because that's it's nature, not because of Aqua Man. For more information, please research on surface tension and water strider) with great felicity, sliced through it like a new blade on a three day old beard, submerged in the 'as-blue-as-a-bottle-of-diluted-ujala' pool for exactly 2 seconds, and reared his head again like a submarine popping out from the imposing depths of the 'concentrated-ujala' ocean. If you did not hear the roar of a sea-lion, it's because the Aqua Man, as the name suggests, is no sea-lion, but a human being. He just 'whoo'd.

It is interesting to note that even though human beings do have a tendency to roar, they generally avoid roaring as soon as they pop their heads above the water to avoid breathing the water in with the oxygen. Human beings tend to say 'whoo' or 'whoa' or 'aaah' depending on their aquatic capability and their musical sensibility. Our Aqua Man said 'whoo'. Basically he 'whoo'd, which is almost similar to 'wooed'. You woo a girl and you whoo the water and the pleasure of wooing and whooing is not very different which the masters of wooing and whooing are already aware of. However, if you have suddenly realized that whooing also results in the intake of H2O with O2, you are right, and I have no clue why human beings prefer the whooing to the roaring.

The sun shone down on the Aqua Man with pleasure, tanning him with the glee of a kid who is peeing on the compound of his jail-like school. The Aqua Man did take no notice of it. For him, the water was his world now, and the land was a distant planet which held no particular interest. As the other human beings dived around him, turning themselves into guileless buffaloes and graceless wildebeests, the Aqua Man whood again, welcoming them to his world, and smirking at their inability to translate their agility on land to floatability on water.
