It's June 22nd. Do you know where your High Seas Fleet is? If you answered "on the bottom of Scapa Flow since yesterday evening", take a bow ...

The Italian Navy in WWI was urged by the British to steam frequently between Italy and Serbia. The Italian refused, based on the worry that the A-H navy might do the same thing and then someone could get hurt. :smug: :bored:

Fuckin' Mt. Rushmore can be taken out by an ICBM. But it's a little easier to find.

Hey, could we make ANYTHING mobile by putting fundy goalposts on it?

The world is a thing of utter inordinate complexity and richness and strangeness that is absolutely awesome. I mean the idea that such complexity can arise not only out of such simplicity, but probably absolutely out of nothing, is the most fabulous extraordinary idea. And once you get some kind of inkling of how that might have happened, it's just wonderful. And . . . the opportunity to spend 70 or 80 years of your life in such a universe is time well spent as far as I am concerned.

So, you agree that Jackie didn't have an original idea when it came to Dreadnought?
