The caption was "The U.S. Navy aircraft carrier USS Saratoga (CV-3) off the Puget Sound Navy Yard, Washington (USA), 7 September 1944."

But considering that the "bombs" would probably be Morthra-sized turds (do moths poop?), I wouldnt say "fine" with such a light heart. [:-]

On second thought..we have tens of millions of neds over here too. They call themselves Democrats.

Really? Track pants tucked into tube socks makes you think of Democrats?

I don't believe it. Someone actually asked that question (and got answers, both direct & related) about moth poop ... [X(]

Short answer - yes, moths poop. Guess you have to scale it up to Mothra-level for it to be 'effective' though [:D]

Nope. They're oblivious to it.

Speaking of ned idiots, I was at Edinburgh zoo with the GF years ago and we were at the Tiger enclosure, a beautiful big cat with eyes full of true intelligence was within, regarding the humans on the other side of the glass wall with something like utter disdain and it wasn't hard to see why. There was a full ned family: dad, mum, two kids all wrapped up in kappa tracksuits and nikes. Dad ned was banging away on the glass, regardless of the huge signs all over the place asking him to refrain from doing just that as it upsets the animals. After a minute or two he turns to me and says "This Lion's pure crap, by ra way. it wilnae bark or anything." [:(]

I hate zoos. The wrong creatures are always locked up in them.
Ossian,

What is the phylogenetic relationship between Neds and Gumbys? Is it as simple as one's a Scot the other an Englishman?

You wouldn't think we were a centre of the Enlightenment would you? Nor that we gave the world everything from modern economic theory, to golf to stockings to the blooming US navy!

Times is tough.


" How the Scots Invented the Modern World: The True Story of How Western Europe's Poorest Nation Created Our World & Everything in It " by Arthur Herman.

My dad loved that book [:)]

Now i am really confused....what happened to the war?

If Mothra is buzzing Sara in Washington, then i figure it must have gone bad somewhere. I need to re-read the last few pages.

I'm reading George Macdonald Fraser's book 'Quartered safe out here' about his time in the Burma campaign.

I've just finished it. An excellent read. Funny, poignant and opinionated.

Yes, but I have to warn you a lot of it's written in the Cumbrian dialect and might be hard for non-English speakers to read.
