Imaginary history can become like real history on acid and you will start to believe you know THE TRUTH...

LOL. This is why I don't read alternate history. I would become too confused. ;-)

That should be fun building some arty pieces.

Re #48 picture , Is that a .50 cal that the young lady is aiming?

Welcome indeed :-)

From the look of it, I'd guess it is a 50 caliber rifle. FReeper Eaker posted the picture on the hurricane thread. I believe those are his kids ready to welcome the looters.

I believe those are his kids ready to welcome the looters.

Indeed those are my kids and that is a .50BMG.

The storm turned 2 degrees east after I posted that pic.

A few more pics and it will swing over and hit France. They don't shoot back!

I couldn't quit laughing as the kids kept saying, "Just one more gun!"

[Professional Engineer]

and that is a .50BMG.

Cool, I thought I recognized the muzzle brake.

Hwy Eaker, Why don't ya set up that Bowling Ball Mortar :-)

That ought to keep the looters at bay

[Eaker]

Why don't ya set up that Bowling Ball Mortar

TheMom is simmering them now.

If it gets really bad we are going to have spaghetti and bowling balls!

[Professional Engineer]

A bowling ball mortar? What a cool idea!

[alfa6]

Ya got any of them pics of the bowling ball mortars.

I love google.

[Professional Engineer]

Yep, that's the one.

I'm thinking the "machine gun" along with the tin wash-basin helmets may get a good workout.

What are the odds of a book like this being published today?

When visiting my future husband at the Naval Academy, his roommate told us girls that there was a window on the marble sarcophagus where you could see John Paul Jones. Couldn't find it.
