Ask Snippy, she's heard my rants about PC.

LOL. Yep, you make my ears bleed! Just kidding. I love to listen to your rants. I agree with them but you express the issues with such passion I just sit back and bask in the sound of your voice ranting away!

Thank you. I don't do it often but sometimes I just can't help myself.

Sir Francis Drake

I know about Sir Francis Drake, they used to teach about him in US history classes.

From what I've read about these planes, I get the impression that the "landing gear" was more just "take off gear" and that these planes pretty much performed a "controlled crash" landing.

He was buried at see in a lead coffin. I'd like to do the same, but I'm sure somebody would object to the lead.
