    Default Coincidence? HA

    Of course we are talking a about the Concorda. There are many things that baffle, but because it are Italians it's best not to think too much. But! It was friday the 13th. It's 100 years ago that the Titanic sank. According to passengers the themesong of 'Titanic was playing when they hit the rock(well a rock, over here we call that rock Italy). It's too good to be true. There have to more stories like this.

    I'm pretty sure that quote was in one of the RTW loading screens, I always thought it must have been an ancient Greek that said it.
    At the end of the day politics is just trash compared to the Gospel.

    Captain Hayler made it up while he was a student at the Naval War College and attributed it to Thucydides' Volume IX of the Peloponnesian War (9th volume of 8).
