    Some members getting annoyed.
    Choirgirl, I was not annoyed at all. I was joking. That is why I put in a smiley face. Please fogive my sense of humor (or humour, as the British say?)

    Hi, The USA was so certain that the Japanese had no carrier air of their own that as late as Coral Sea (May 1942) they were still reporting Japanese aircraft as 109's

    By Coral Sea the USN knew the IJN had carrier air but they still thought it had been trained by Germany.


    (I think FAHM was kidding)

    For a good laugh read the "offical" reports on Coral Sea and Midway

    This has worked for me before. Try it. Watch the charts on the DOW and s&p at exactly 1 hour before close. You sometimes can tell how the day will end by that 30 second period. Not a trading strategy, just some fun Ive been working on.....

    No way I hate it when they sing it in English. (I also hate Puskin in Arabic)

    No worries - i just didn't get the animal house reference... I've actually lectured one or two classes on WWII history... some of which I learned from my grandfather - and his brothers - who were there.....

    note to self:

    Keep the chocolate away from any four year olds in the house that may force feed it to any small pets.... in this example... a cat or two......

    note 2:

    Chocolate is apparently like crack cocaine to small animals......
