I'm quite sure that there were plenty of reasons for that including weight of guns and ammo, powder charges required, manpower needed to serve the guns and plenty of other things. But the questions that keeps me wondering, is what the heck does that have to do with the price of rice in China?


More to do with the balance of the ship. Only the first rates were big enough and steady enough to counteract the punch of a 32.

At least they are all letters I know. If I knew how to type it, I'd put the vowels in too.

...and that language spoken by basic training and OCS/OTS instructors.

I also have my doubts about roughly half of the students in my second-semester professional responsibility classes. Judging from their writing, I'd say they're short several consonants, as well.

They know that, with the impending death of the U.S. space program, they're going to get their pink slips any day now. This enterprising gent appears to have a plan. "Now, if I can convince 'em that we gotta develop rockets to nudge this sucker back into its proper wobble, maybe I can protect my phony-baloney make-work job for a couple more years."

But, seriously, folks. The length of a terrestrial day is determined by the rotational speed of the earth's aggregate mass. Any fluctuation in the time taken for a given point on the surface to return to its previous point of reference for "day length calculation" purposes would, ipso facto, be identical to that for any other point. The only way to make an earth day shorter is to speed up the earth's rotation. This hockey puck doesn't say anything that makes sense.

And the only way to make an earth day longer is to go out, get hammered, pick up an embarrassingly stupid, ugly woman and marry her. Yer days will get REALLY long then.

Which raises the musical question, "What a difference a day makes. Twenty-four little hours."

Actually , by its original use of the word, you both are yanks.Yankis, the Huron pronounciation of the French word Anglais. Anglais=Yankis=Yankee. That is to say English, not French. So there!
