The British navy launched a new warship today (probably as a sign of impending world peace) called HMS Daring. It slid into the River Clyde, throwing much confetti into the surrounding environment, which apparently doesn't fall under the category of 'littering'. Possibly because it was blue, red and white, and therefore patriotic litter. Anyway, the navy have ordered six ships in this style, called HMS Daring, Dauntless, Diamond, Defender, Dragon, and Duncan. I appreciate the alliteration there, but do you think perhaps they just couldn't think of anything decent for the last one? Duncan? Having to stand/float/kill next to others with impressive names like Daring and Dragon must do quite a lot to deflate the ship's ego.
In other news, I noticed that my previous post, which contained the pun that many readers, especially Mark, found absolutely hilarious, was my 111th post. Quite a fitting post number for mentioning the 360th visitation. 111 is a prime number, and a sexy prime at that!
