Have you ever been to Germany? If you haven't, and you do for some reason find yourself there, do not greet the locals by saying, "How are you?" They will tell you. They will tell you more about how they are than you ever could have possibly wanted to know. To them, 'How are you?' isn't just a greeting to be…

He seems to include a lot of submarines; he should've included how deep K-129 sank after attempting to fire a nuclear missile at Pearl Harbor (and failing), and how deep Thresher and Scorpion rested.

As somebody who's in the Navy, I can tell you this...

Does this work for, say, black 9" boots? Us Navy people would love to know.

I wanted to, don't get me wrong, but my wife made the excellent point of, "What the fuck are you going to do with them once you kill them?" I sure wasn't gonna eat the bastards.

I don't think I've ever seen so many commenters not actually read the damn article. $2300 is FER STARTERS, YA HURR!?

I'm pretty sure you're homeless because you don't understand things very well. Like this article.

Ordinarily this is true, but no plane is capable of much maneuvering when it's down one engine, and (more importantly) one wing. Also, discounting helicopters for obvious reasons, I'm pretty sure the E-2C hawkeye would have the lowest stall speed. Straight wings and all. And that's not even talking about Air Force…

But fire extinguishers do clash with the decor. They usually scream, "I give a fuck about my things." How tacky.

Well, a good one will. Good ones will actually set you back far more than $399.

As a long-time SHO aficionado, I know I sure do.

It sure does look like an egg, although it's referred to as the Football.

If you look hard enough, you can actually see "Cadbury" written on it.

At least you posted a picture of a SHO!

I jury-rigged a can of starter fluid and a zippo to create a DIY flamethrower for squirrels once. Didn't hurt them, but they knew not to come by lest they be flame-broiled.

All aircraft that operate on aircraft carriers fold their wings up. It's to maximize the limited space available on the flight deck and hangar bay. Some planes' wing-folding dances are a little more complicated than others. F'rinstance, check out this E-2C Hawkeye with its wings folded. That's crazy to watch.

It was fun! I had a blast doing it. One of the things I've learned about the Navy is that there is very little one can't do - if you just ask. I've been an at-sea tour guide for a former Secretary of the Navy (and did a good enough job to get a hand-written thank you card from the CO). I am (well, was - doubt I still…

Interesting, because the US Navy's modular welded aircraft carriers seem to do ok.

Gerber makes dozens of models, most without the C4 punch. It's his own damn fault for buying the one with the tools he doesn't need.

Do you need a spike for det cord? No.
