so are you saying fbwb is incorrect?  i might be misinterpreting.

My real point was that FBWB might not be who he says he is.

I believe my link shows that he is not entirely correct about the ships.

Violet Jessop was a crew member of the White Star Line who survived disasters to all three sister ships -- the breaching of the Olympic's hull, the sinking of the Titanic, and the sinking of the Britannic.  She went back for her toothbrush on the Britannic because it was what she had missed most when the Titanic sunk.

You would think that after the third one that questions would have to be asked.

The fact I quoted referred to ocean liners, not ships of any type.  Please refer to my original post.

And my link refuted that. Please refer to my other posts and it's other facts contained within.

If you stick your finger in your ear it sounds just like Pac-Man.

I don't think that it does.  I don't see any ocean liners on that list other than Titanic.

Ocean liners are sea buses.  Their primary purpose is to transport people.  There are other classes of "liners" which are used for other transportation purposes.

You lost me with the part about checking your other posts.  Which posts are you referring to?

This one will make my kids feel old.

The movie Home Alone was released closer to the moon landing than it was to today.

i was being sarcastic.  he was perhaps the most incorrect person ever on this forum with that post.

well, the plot thickens now, though.  i hadn't seen this clarification.


i just don't know what to believe anymore.

The first American film to show a toilet being flushed on screen was Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho.

The radio program most associated with a flushing toilet is Coast to Coast AM with George Noory

Another of life's many mysteries.

Perhaps we should move on to the other post, the one about porn with A-cuppers being banned in Oz.  Wazzup with that?  Anyone here from down under care to explain?

It's probably meant to help remove ambiguity about the age (over/under 18) of the actress/model.

The heart of a blue whale is so big, a human can swim through the arteries.

The Internets informs me that breast size and age are not closely correlated.

Maybe they don't have an Internets in Australia.

A strawberry isn’t a berry but a banana is.

The combination "ough" can be pronounced in nine different ways. The following sentence contains them all: "A rough-coated, dough-faced, thoughtful ploughman strode through the streets of Scarborough; after falling into a slough, he coughed and hiccoughed."

so are tomatoes, squash, and peppers.

[FearBoysWithBugs]

so are tomatoes

It depends.  The SCOTUS held that tomatoes are a vegetable for practical purposes.  Congress, in 2011, passed a bill that allowed pizza with two tablespoons of tomato paste to qualify as a vegetable.

A botanist would disagree with our government.  Botanists are obviously commies.

A vegetable is a culinary classification, not a botanical one.  It includes roots, stalks, leaves, flowers, fruits, etc.  There is no contradiction in saying something is both a fruit and a vegetable.

fixed ... squash is not food.
