History or Myth?

WitP:AE, version III, patch 2.6735551 may be so intricate that production and transportion of soy will be part of the game, as will asparagus, tin, fertilizer, ball bearings, and kumquats.

Kumquat-based strategies make the IJ forces too powerful! Nerf the kumquats!

uhmmmm, I'm sure all have noticed that this is a joke, right?

"Prof. Demens Decipio of Dolus University"

Demens = 'crazy', 'demented'
Decipio = 'to mislead'
Dolus = 'deception',

in Latin, that is.

Apparently, not everybody noticed that.

I COMPLETELY disagree with Professor Decipio's arguments.

Yamamoto was known as a progressive thinker, and in order to counter the Army's influence of Soy Sauce with the Emperor, he sent spies all over the world to look for new alternatives in 1941. That was found in San Bernardino's recently opened MacDonald's restaurant.

His spy's report was so impressive that Yamamoto requested an audience with the Emperor and showed him the menu. Hirohito was deeply curious, but thought that diplomatic channels would be ineffective for obtaining him an actual sample. So he asked Yamamoto: "Isoroku, where be the nearest place where we can find such resources?". Yamamoto answered: "Oahu, Excellency". "Then, Yamamoto", said Hirohito, "go get me a Big Mac from Oahu, and use whatever means you feel necessary".

People just miss the "coincidence" of opening the first MacDonald's restaurant in 1940, and the attack in Pearl Harbor -- in the very next year!!

Utter Nonsense! Everyone knows that Japanese are little people who have to eat with small sticks because they can't fit silverware into their mouths. The thought of one of them being able to get his lips around a Big Mac is as rediculous as..., as..., as one of them eating 50 Hot Dogs in 5 minutes!

A great example of the underlying problem of the publish or perish mentality in academia and the ability of just about anyone to get a PhD today.

Pardon me? I take a lot of offense to that comment!

Obviously you do not have Phd or have ever come close to earning one. If you did, you would know the work and sacrifice one must give in order to obtain one. In other words, not just anyone can get one, an accredited one that is.

You are absolutely right. Why not more than 75% of my colledge professors were morons! The remaining 25 % were almost normal! And at least 10% of those had actually worked prior to entering acadamia. And prescisely one knew exactly what the academic world was REALLY about. He said some of the wisest words I've ever heard ANY academic say...."the more I learn , the more I realize how truly ignorant I am". A wise man indeed! [:D]

Gentlemen! Lets be civil, I did not intend to incite a arguement among you by posting this.

No did you. Sometimes "tongue-in-cheek" is transmutated to "foot-in-mouth" or it's more common , yet dangerous cousin "head up @$$". Now that explainations have been made , good humor should return (as it should never have departed the scene to begin with). [:D]

Actually soy sauce was an elaborate cover to mask the primary Japanese war aim, the annexation of Coney Island for the purpose of securing an uninterruptible supply of Nathan's hot dogs.
 
Mike has evidently been doing deep research in the Japanese archives.  His above post was to let those in on the secret know that he knows while not letting everyone else know what the real deal is.  But now the gaffe is blown, the cat is out of the bag, the whistle is blown, the truth is revealed.

Man, I didn't know about any of this![:)]

Bravo!!! [:D][:D][:D] Was wondering when someone was going to catch that, the demented liar from the Univ of deception at your service.

I had quite a bit of fun writing that.

Hope ya all enjoyed!

So I am assuming that soy will be added to the resources and oil listings as raw commodities.

We need historic accuracy here.

omfg, I snarfed my freaking coffee - you bastage!

Sounds like the action of a typical Phillies fan. [:D]

Hold on there. Let's not rush to judgement.

[gunnergoz]

Soy sauce is overrated in the game...needs to be nerfed.  My P-400's running on Soy typically reach 50,000 ft in 5 minutes and decimate Zekes and Bettys.

And that's why we fought. And you thought it was for scantilly clad girls squirming in the clutches of drooling, fang dripping, fascists - but NO! it was for the American dream! 15 cent McDonalds in Tokyo when we were paying 25 cents in California! Oh, this is not acceptable! Discounting an American institution? - what hubris, what arrogance - eat sunomono and die!

Hmm, I wonder how many kumquats I will need in order to get those late model Tonys soon enough.

Maybe someone who can read Japanese can say, but I am guessing that is the McDonalds in Oahu. I think it is one of the SNLF guys right before they shot the place up.

I still think you're all wrong.  They wanted to invade Washington and Idaho to secure ammo for their secret weapon......the Potato Gun.
