1. There's no reason to use the word "ergo," ever. 2. All rats are "cannibal rats." 3. It is true that there are all sorts of mysterious things floating around in the sea, and some of them are ships... But only once have I seen a "ship without lights" or "ghost ship," and it was probably not a modern Marie Celeste. But who knows? The vessel in question lay no more than 80 miles East of Norfolk, and was seen at night, on a moonless night. It was not underway, and it may have been at anchor, but it showed no shapes nor lights. In fact we came upon it fast and it was very scary. Probably military, yes... Probably watching us, yes... But spooky as heck when it looks like a big black cliff coming up on you!

'1. There's no reason to use the word "ergo," ever." You just did; ergo, there is.

There's no reason to use the word "ergo," everAs a yachtsman, I must object to your unilateral banning of this word, "ergo." As any sailor knows, "ergo," is a Norwegian scientific unit of measurement, specifically used to indicate brake Horsepower produced by single-cylinder Norwegian diesel engines.
Q:
"Yo, Ragnar, what is the output of that one-lunger you got dere?"
A:
"Ergo. I need to put the same arm moxie on da flywheel as it takes to lift two cases of da lutefisk."
Of course I must point out that in Norway, real men do not use the compression release lever in handstarting dose tings.
