Status: offline 		I don't recall this, not that that means anything, I just did't remember that B5M1 Mabels can attack with torpedoes and furthermore that they are carrier capable. Is this Alzheimer's? That means they, among the obvious things, can train air crews for naval attack with torpedoes. I can't recall ever putting any on a carrier. I need to write this down on a Post-It and stick it to my forehead.

You do not need a torpedo on a plane to train NavT, just select that type of training mission and the pilot learns the mission profile for torpedo attacks. They can load a length of pipe with sand to simulate the torpedo.

Baseball has referees. Football has referees. Basketball and Hockey have referees. I've been checking up on them. None of them have referrers. Are they trying to save money? What's the deal? I'm thinking all these games are rigged.

Status: offline 		Are you sure? I've never seen a referee's resume. I've been closely studying this. Baseball has three referees and one umpire. This is because the MLB does not wish to be known as having more referees per player than the other sports. Basketball has gone beyond that standard. It has as it's crew chief a referee. The one or two other guys are called umpires. This means that Basketball has more umpires per player than any other sport. In addition, for extra prestige, Basketball's referee and umpires are equipped with whistles. Well La-Di-Dah.

Status: offline 		You know, in Baseball the umpire makes umpirical calls. If the catcher, for instance, disagrees with the call he can stand up and point at one of the referees to get a theoretical call. I've actually seen this happen.

Status: offline 		Tennis. Oh, my. Tennis has So-Called Judges and regular Judges. Some of the So-Called Judges are also referred to (yes Tennis has referrers, it's a rich man's sport after all) as Line Judges. I believe Tennis also has Point Judges and various other Judges handling two dimensional duties, such as Rhombus Judges and Triangular Judges. In the case of disputes between the various judges, a special judge applies Circular Logic to resolve the situation. Then of course, there is the umpire. He or She is situated above the plane of the Tennis Court and therefor supersedes all the one and two dimensional judges, and the Point Judge for that matter.

Did your Mr. McEnroe use the code phrase 'you can't be serious' to authenticate himself? If not you may have been taken in by a so-called John McEnroe.

So they use a real ball and play the game with their feet?
