    Get the guy who built the Iraqi "supergun" to help out...or the people who wanted to build the Nazi V3 cannon!

  4. Dr.Wheeler on Captain Bligh's Logbooks To Yield Climate Bounty · · Score: 1

    I know Dr Wheeler; at one point he was reported as researching the weather and ice patterns leading up to the Titanic's sinking. Nothing came of this, and I did a study myself.

  7. Rome WASN'T built in a day... on Rome, Built In a Day · · Score: 2, Funny

  21. Try this one on Worst Working Conditions You Had To Write Code In? · · Score: 1

    This place is infamous in Cambridge, and the rest of the world for the way it treats its staff. And not just this company, but is sister and acquired companies as it heads onwards in its quest for worldwide supremacy in the search market.
