That picture of Chris Crawford on the article was just so melodramatic. It reminded me of something. I just... I just couldn't help myself .

While this is a cool idea, and something I've pondered myself (it would be very hard to make it work), I think you guys have been trolled.

There is some merit to the idea (or at least varients of it), though. What's to stop someone from buying an old aircraft carrier, refitting it, and declaring it a sovereign nation? It would probably be difficult to get large nations to recognize it, but that wouldn't necessarily be a problem.

Of course, I'm far from the first to have such an idea, but I haven't seen anyone else suggesting that such a vessel could or should be a sovereign nation. Maybe I'm just crazy. Crazy like a fox!

My dad raced a pinto back in the late 70's and 80's. With a 302 it's best times were in the 10.9's I think.

Umm... look again?

There once was a user who scripted in Perl: "Look at what I have to work with here," he said to a master of core, "My code is interpreted dynamically, the syntax is unique and simple, I have sockets, strings, arrays, and everything I could ever need. Why don't you stop meddling in C and come join me?" The C programmer described his reasoning to the scripter: "Script is to C as ebonics is to Latin. If the scripter does not grow beyond that of which he scripts, he will surely [die]. Besides, without C, how can there be script?" The scripter was enlightened, and the two became close friends.
