A maverick inventor, Barnes Wallis

Hardly, with the Tallboy and Grand Slam to his name too.

I didn't know this about him though:

He was awarded the sum of £10,000 for his war work from the Royal Commission on Awards to Inventors. Such was his grief at the loss of so many airmen in the dams raid, Wallis donated the entire sum to Christ's Hospital School in 1951 to allow them to set up the RAF Foundationers' Trust, which allows the children of RAF personnel killed or injured in action to attend the school

"Wilde-Cockburn"? Reminds me of this time when [contents deleted due to family nature of forum].

I was thinking of a nice glass of port.

"Obama confirms death of bin Laden".

A good start to a good week, no work until the 10th.

Think it sounds like an old English gunsmith, the kind that makes custom shotguns.

The first headline I saw this morning was "Obama confirms death of bin Laden". Had to blink and read that one again a couple of times...

For some reason, I take extra enjoyment from the fact that I learned this great news in THE THREAD!!! [8D]

I took my son to school this morning, came home, and opened up a new bottle of my 15 year old Haitian Rhum Barbancourt to have a celebratory toast at 730.

Well, the world has one less bad person today. Back in my world, somebody poured a triple-strength Monday over my head this morning. Good Thread!

Non-profound thought:

It is what it is and it is what it isn't mean the same thing. Don't know why that just occurred to me. I think I'm reading too much of Mandrake's and Sprior's aar. This may be one of the harmful side-effects that are listed in the commericials for it. It may be just because it's Monday as well.

It was snowing when I left the house today for work. High today will be 43F. Wind was gusting to about 25 MPH too, brings the wind chill down into the twenties or teens. [8|]
