In the early days of Free Republic, there was a poster named A+bert.

Almost as obnoxious as A+humble. Many people didn't like him. I got along with bert - but humble is asshoe.

Boo friggin’ hoo. You have to go to the website to see the ads associated with the article, too.

It’s amazing and powerful that four words can make so many people cry.

No, those things worked very well despite what by today’s standards would be primitive technology.

The blast tore a large hole in the ship’s bottom, opened a seam in her side, and blew out all fires in her boiler rooms.”

Even if it didn’t sink, that sure sounds like a dead ship. Surprising they were able to get it working again.
