The Oriskany, a decommissioned aircraft carrier, was sunk 24 miles off the coast of Pensacola, Fla., on May 17 to form an artificial reef.


The sinking of the 888-foot ship took 37 minutes.



A history of the Oriskany, in a page made by a vietnam vet and former crewmember.
It's badly coded and nearly unreadable, but that's to be expected from Navy guys. (Hi, Adam!)

EDIT: [livejournal.com profile] taschoene brings me post-sinking pictures.

Many more BIG spiffy pictures )

Does this make anyone else laugh?



Oh no! Don't turn him into dog food, daddy!

Karla Homolka loses legal bid to change name (again).

JULIET: 'Tis but thy name that is my enemy;
Thou art thyself, though not a Montague.
What's Montague? it is nor hand, nor foot,
Nor arm, nor face, nor any other part
Belonging to a man. O, be some other name!
What's in a name? that which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet;
So Romeo would, were he not Romeo call'd,
Retain that dear perfection which he owes
Without that title. Romeo, doff thy name,
And for that name which is no part of thee
Take all myself.

ROMEO: Damn skippy.

Yes, this really is the front cover of today's New York Post.

What was that about the moral high ground, Americans being better than those savages putting pictures of dead Americans up all over the place, and all that? Could you tell me that part again?
