Britain was "junior partner" to US in fighting the Nazis

[hockers666]

I heard that a scientist experimenting with radio waves suddenly felt the coins in his pocket start to feel like burning cigarette ends.

 

I could be wrong though

 

you are wrong:loopy:

Then would you enlighten us, Hocker?

 

I personally have no idea but would be interested to know.

Too true, but I believe that Microwave technology was accidently discovered when someone walked close to a Radar and chocolate he had in his pocket melted

 

This is almost correct.

In fact I used to work for one of the greatest men in this field (no pun intended)

We used it for bleaching cloth, god knows what it has done to our insides.

Apparantly it can fry your liver and kidneys, or any water based stuff alive.

A gal in every port too ?

 

Yes I did have, until I met my wife, and left the sea.

Some of my pals had more than one, that used to cause consternation at various places.

Hmm, Just misses out the most Northern, Eastern, Southern, and Western states. But perhaps they don't count ?

I'm not sure that Maine isn't the most Northern State except for Alaska. It digs deep into Canada. Likewise Florida to the south is stuck out there like a slack peenie. There's not a lot East of Boston, and Catalina is the first place you'll pass over cpming back from Hawaii to LA. We can quibble about Minnesota or Corpus Christy, but it don't really matter. You mentioned the Saint George's flag on your stern post, the Stars and Stripes on your Mast. If your vessel is American registered, Courtesy demands you put Old Glory at your stern and St. George atop your mast in honour. Except that you really should put up the Union flag.

Does anyone really care?

You lot rambling on about the USA is daft.

You are a back number, now get out of it.

I think we iscovered it a little earlier. We had Douglas Skyraiders equipped with a massive radar as early warning aircraft, When we tested them out in the ship's hangar deck sparks would jump off the mechanics wrenches ( spanners ) when ever they touched metal. It became a realfire risk with all that avgas around.

Just like Jameson's whiskey:)

Of course it's daft, that's why we do it, we like to irritate you.
