11XHooah Posted June 18, 2005 Posted June 18, 2005 I remember when I was little, a turkey made a short flight over the road and smacked right into my mom's car while we were driving.

EnderAndrew Posted June 18, 2005 Posted June 18, 2005 Nebraska is a favorite to win a national championship in baseball, despite being a cold weather state. Sunday they face off against Florida in the second round of the College World series.
Reveilled Posted June 18, 2005 Posted June 18, 2005 The nation of Burgundy was briefly one of the most powerful states in Europe, extending from the French Province of the same name up to the netherlands. It's duke at the time, who was not only called charles but was the spitting image of our current prince, was intent on ressurecting the ancient crown and nation of Lotharingia. Had he been successful, the state of Lotharingia would have stretched from Marseilles to Amsterdam. Alas, he died in retreat from battle in Switzerland while attempting to take it over, and Burgundy was carved up between France and Austria. Oh, and Ender, I need your preference list for Diplomacy. Hawk! Eggplant! AWAKEN!
EnderAndrew Posted June 18, 2005 Posted June 18, 2005 I thought Diplomacy was going to be PBEM. I haven't gotten an email on the subject yet. I'll try to hunt down the topic.

11XHooah Posted June 18, 2005 Posted June 18, 2005 Sh*t is actually an acronym for Ship High In Transit - SH*T. It has to do with shipping dry manure in the holds of ships. When dry it weighs a lot less, but once water hit it, it not only became heavier, but the process of fermentation began again, of which a by-product is methane gas. As the stuff was stored below decks in bundles you can see what could (and did) happen; methane began to build up below decks and the first time someone came below at night with a lantern. BOOOOM! Several ships were destroyed in this manner before it was discovered what was happening. After that, the bundles of manure where always stamped with the term "S.H.I.T" on them which meant to the sailors to "Ship High In Transit." In other words, high enough off the lower decks so that any water that came into the hold would not touch this volatile cargo and start the production of methane. War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse.
