E-dating has been going on since not too long after the invention of the telegraph. Before that it was not uncommon for people to "Date" via mail, and so there is a great historical precedent for dating websites. Most of the relationships even worked back then...

guess they also started one handed typing too

US spent millions of dollars making a pen that can write in space.

Thankfully, the traditional telegraph was a one button device, so it didn't even require additional dexterity.

Because when I think sexy, I think "dot dot dash dot dot dot dash dash dot". Oh man, please excuse me for a little while.

So nobody gonna chip in for the Escapist Carrier Fleet? C'mon, I was gonna go shopping around for some spinners on the screws.

Forget the screws, during world war two (I think Britain) was in the processing of developing an aircraft carrier out of ice.
The only thing that stopped them was that the war ended while they were still testing a miniature version floating in a lake in Canada.

The ice was actually a mixture of wood pulp and water though, which made it more buoyant and not melt as fast.

yea that was the brittish, winston churchill was having the Canadians make it.
well if you make an escapist carrier fleet, I will provide the cables used to slow down the play on landing...I will use rubberbands and pantyhose

Nelson Mandela, former president of South Africa, had spent most of his life in jail, but kept his sanity by counting cockroaches.

hmm, that was similair to my experience, except I think they called it the Las Angelas subway

Well we can use a couple Nighthawks, and some decom Tomcats too. If I can talk the Escapist into purchasing at least one carrier, could you see about some old Cobras and Comanche heli's? OOH, and some AV-8B Harriers... None of the damn sea harrier rustbuckets, I want 8B's.

Can the F-117 survive a carrier landing? (Hey, that's something I don't know, so it fits the thread!)

Yah, I heard that one. Oh, the Russians launched the first man-made satellite into space. They launched a rocket, but it didn't come down. Instead, it caught up in some thing's gravity, causing it to hurtle around in space.

Speaking of which, Jupiter has over 30 natural satilites, and Saturn over 50. And Scientists are curious about the hexagonal shape of the cloud stucture on it's north pole.

Post your random pieces of trivia no one else would know because you somehow managed to find it.

Here's one: The internet may not be a reliable source of truthful information.

In other news, "somehow managed to find it" is now a euphamism for "pulled it out of my @rse."
