Ah of course, terrorists. This would also explain black holes.
Red Bull was invented by an Austrian, so maybe that was the lingo.
So, now Clive is a professor. Amazing what a high school education will get you nowadays .Fact check anyone?
Yes. And the stars being super intense.
I saw a show on TV here last week. You are not going to believe this, but it is true. You know how in a desert you get a mirage? It is a distortion generated by a layer of hot air at ground level,...
Would it surprise anyone to know that the lookouts never saw the massive iceberg in front of them?
Hopefully it will end up in the hands of a master violinist care of a generous philanthroper, rather than in a glass case in a museum. It is not uncommon for someone to buy an expensive instrument...

When Gus Grissom was made pilot of the first manned Gemini flight, he wanted to name the spacecraft 'Molly Brown' after the stage play running at the time (as well as the...
I got training for a helmsman's certificate whilst serving as a cook on the HMAS Vampire.
Opposite steering system? Doesn't sound right to me.
Besides, if the helmsman was on the bridge, he was not alone. You have the captain there (unless he is sleeping), the officer of the watch,...
