    Farcically ridiculous!!  Even to a high high school sophomore!!  :rolleyes:

    Of course it was. But those same people who believed are the same ones who believe the border is closed… :rolleyes:

     

    I’ve sidetracked this thread enough and am done.  Lovin’ your music selections! :)

    Don’t know how old you are Blackwater, but the garble at the very end of the song was enhanced and played over and over again as part of the great “Paul McCartney is dead” hoax of 1969. If you had a vivid imagination or were stoned enough, that could be “heard.”

     

    “I played Black Sabbath backwards -  and I saw God…” 

    - Cheech and Chong” routine.

    Honestly don't know on that bird one, but the four prop ones I've been around, you could hear from quite ways away or up. 

    Not me. I wouldn’t hear a NASCAR racer until a nanosecond before it hit me.

    I’m trying to see where her gun turrets are. In 1918, it looks like 3 turrets forward. Was one removed? There were 5 originally.

    Whoops, did a little more research and discovered Texas retained all 5 turrets. I had her confused with Nevada. :blush:
     

    I have books showing her configuration during ww2, but her amidships turret is often obscured by her catapult and scout planes that sat atop.

    The 1918 photo shows a stern view of the ship, the 1943 image is from the bow. There were originally 5 turrets, but the one amidships was removed.

    So did our replies to it!! Who'd a thunk Archie and Veronica would be censored!

    I’m guessing the ‘toon itself was too racey for someone’s taste and a complaint was lodged. Which is perplexing given other content on this forum.
