Pure bilge water! That is a filthy rumor started to discredit our great government's fantastic leadership.
The truth is President Obama (PBUH) odrered the Army Corpse of Engineers to build and install huge outriggers to keep it upright.
He got the idea from Hawaiian war canoes he remembered seeing as a youth.
The project was finished a few days before the excess Marines arrived.
It worked so well that he has ordered outriggers for all Navy ships, so the sailors won't have to stay in the middle any more.
One sticking point is submarines, though the preliminary solution to that problem is to install flooding/purging systems on the outriggers so the subs will be able to dive again.
Georgia goes to the descendants of King George, while Virginia goes to the descendants of the Virgin Queen Elizabeth! (Huh? Immaculate conception???)
