Star Wars Humor…

Great piece Marc. Thank you.

Today marks the 100th anniversary of the event that is commonly held to be the end of World War I: the armistice on the Western Front. Germany’s war effort was on the verge of collapse both militarily and domestically, and its allies had already signed separate armistice agreements during the preceding months. The signing took place early in the morning, the ceasefire went into effect at 11 AM.

Formally speaking, the notion that World War I ended with this armistice is incorrect. Hostilities had ended, but unlike the end of World War II, the armistice did not constitute a formal capitulation. So legally speaking, the war continued until the various parties involved had reached separate peace agreements, a process which took several years to complete – in the case of Germany, the Versailles treaty which was signed in 1919 and took effect on January 10, 1920. And the state of war with Turkey even continued until the 1923 treaty of Lausanne.

@ABWorsham:

Stalin’s mustache was awesome in the series, that is the only positives you will hear from me.

Morning Cromwell. Thank you for your time on this thread.
I have enjoyed reading all you have posted.

ROFL!!!

I hope the cat part was not derived from personal experience Jen?  :lol:

I was self employed for a long time.  Now i just get a check every year from the company (3% net profits, not a bad deal) for the very reason that I couldn’t stand stupid people working with me!

D:S, even the really deep bunkers are not reachable by the mini-nukes, as they still have to get there and pierce it in the first place, so it is the “hull” of the bomb that is crucial. Read the article for more info on that.

Yeah it’s actually All Quiet On The Western Front I believe, but when it’s literally translated it’s Nothing New on The Western Front. I haven’t seen the movie, the book is good though.
