7. Contrary to recent experience (n=1) they don't ALL burn on reentry

13. HMS Dauntless
"The ship went aground and after bombardment by French batteries on both sides of the river was forced to surrender."

Dauntless

HMS Intrepid

"lastly becoming a Blockship and was scuttled at Zeebrugge on the 23rd April 1918."

Intrepid

Bad luck to name a current ship after one that met an unfortunate end.

31. better than dauntless is
"indefagitable" teach the wing nuts how to pronounce a 6 syllable word.

I favour the Robert E. Lee. no southern rep or senator would ever vote to cut funding for the Robert E. Lee.

Edited on Tue Jul-26-05 12:01 PM by Richardo

My baby called me up
She said, "Why don't you ever take me out?
Pick me up in your brand new car
You shake the short change from your old fruit jar"

I put on my dancin' shoes
We headed straight for the rhythm and blues
The music was hot, but my baby was not

I've got a rocket in my pocket, I said rocket
Ya fingers in the socket
Fingers in the socket, fingers in the socket

No way for you to stop it
That rocket c'mon, you get off it oh
Rocket, said rocket, said rocket, said rocket, said rocket, said rocket

Don't understand that girl, I can't explain
She got one foot on the platform, the other on the train
I got a rocket in my pocket, yeah I said rocket
Finger in the socket

27. I'd give it my real name.
My ex used to make comments about how I was a bitch that he wished would just go to space and leave him alone. His wish could come true.
