Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

This is cool stuff. I wonder how long before the "Deep Sea Detectives" on the history channel do a show on this.



POLISH divers have discovered the rusting wreckage of Nazi Germany’s only aircraft carrier, the Graf Zeppelin, solving one of the most enduring maritime riddles of the Second World War.

Lol. I posted mine in General Discussion as a seperate thread. Somehow it ended up as a reply to THIS one.

Interesting article.  This looks like it would support the theory that the Soviets used it for target practice.
