What shall we talk about? The stream of consciousness business is important to a classic faber, i believe.

Of course, others do favor the one word approach, but i think it lessens the achievement...

Still others might say: "But how can you go lower than a faber?"

i say to them: "BAH!"

It's about the forts that defended America: 1600 to the Present, entitled
FORTRESS AMERICA... it looks pretty neat.

It's got a lot of neat stuff about the fortifications of WW2 that look very interesting.

They mention an incident in Feb 1942 that seems to be the inspiration of the Spielberg movie "1941"...

It was called the "Great Los Angeles Air Raid" - 24 Feb 1942. Apparently a lot of AA ammo was expended on the "attackers"...

Sort of like that science fiction story i read years ago... a guy discovered that paperclips would breed, and soon you'd find them everywhere...

The ASW weapons, right... or are you thinking about emulating VSWG by launching hedgehogs from mousetraps?

I'm just thinking about their representation in WitP. They're technically similar to the Jap 3-inch A/S mortar, even though this was a modified trench weapon, firing one bomb at a time, quite unlike Hedgehog and Mousetrap.
