(Jon sez:) ![]() P.S. Former U.S. Navy sailor David Ramsey says that the Navy's spelling is, indeed, "under weigh." I think that puts this mini-controversy to bed once and for all. |
(Mark sez:) ![]() For those who are into trivia, the treaty under which Mars can't deploy force outside of its own near-surface area was previously mentioned on Page 118. The question of how exactly and by whom this treaty is going to be enforced is rather awkward and usually not brought up in polite company. I also wish to make a correction to last time's "Mark sez" when I said it was Columbus Day all over North America. It wasn't, of course; that's only in the United States. In Canada it was Thanksgiving, which is what got me confused. And in Mexico, it wasn't anything at all on the 11th but they do celebrate Columbus Day on the 12th, so I think I get partial credit there. And furthermore, pie. |
