    A brave little theory, and actually quite coherent for a system of five or seven dimensions -- if only we lived in one.

    Cool

    Um, I don't think it's going to fit in my garage, much less a port in a harbor (for some reason the state and federal government won't put Pearl Harbor on sale).

    Gee, I hope the unidentified owner won't have any connection (past and present) to any terrorist organization. Then there is the matter of security. I hope he got the ship lo-jacked.
    Anyhoo, just some random thoughts...

    Talking That come with an extended warranty?

    She had a history of engine trouble in Brazillian service. They've since gone & bought a bigger (if not nessisarily more reliable) flat-top in the form of the Ex-French carrier Foch. It'll be re-chistened Sao Paulo w/ the pennant number A12.

    you'd think the french would keep the foch instead of thier superwaste of 4 billion "supercarrier" Charles de Gaulle..
    heck the NAeL Minas Gerais had a better operational record than it does

    It's not worth getting the carrier if I can't have half a dozen AV-8B II+ Harriers to go with it.

    Just what I need for dealing with New Orleans traffic! (Not to mention a few of the neighborhoods I end up driving through...) Of course, some parts of town you need this, though that paint job will cause you trouble anywhere except East of St. Ann in the Quarter.... (That poor T-34... what'd it ever do to them?)
