World War II ended officially in september 1990

Speaking of which, currently under construction is the USS George R. W. Bush. I kid you not.
Each of those Nimiz's cost $4 billion (basically the most expensive thing you can buy that moves) and cost half a billion each year to maintain, nevermind staff, fuel and have aircraft aboard.

Fact: Fire is... well, fiery (in that you can see it) because of glowing gas particles.

The Bible, the world's best-selling book, is also the world's most shoplifted book.

I believe you mean the USS George H.W. Bush, for Herbert Walker, the father of our current ____-in-Chief. The one who wasn't so much of a complete f***wit. If the son's legacy is anything, it is to make the father's presidency seem not so bad after all.

@Nicolo: Are you talking about Jellyfish.com?

Science has yet to name that thing where you're about to walk into someone and you both step to the right/left until one of you steps aside.

That already has a name.

A time when your supposed to step to the right.

244 days left till Bush is out of office. lets hope he has the common decency to shut up, sit down, and play with his legos for the next 8 months

if they ever do make a USS George W. Bush, it will be a leaky rubber dingy

the portugese manowar (spelling?) isn't really a jellyfish, but a colony of singe celled organsisms that eahc does a specific job (stingers, digestion, etc)

Nicola Tesla always insisted in staying in a hotel room with a number divisible by three.

He also referenced a pigeon he owned as his wife.
