Wow, Dr. Strangelove, an admission like this might buy you a lawsuit by both the Cherokee Nation and by NAACP for reparations.

Is it fun in your world, Ned?

I do hope you didn't miss UR's point, and are just making it again, more bluntly.

what part of 'five' don't you understand?

The word "only" from "only five" . So it's not really a part of five .

Do I always have to use "signals" before you guys detect "irony?"

this list has gone to hell. All modern day celebrities and fictional characters should be disqualified.

As long as we keep aircraft carriers my list is secure.

you weren't the one to pick Enterprise were you? I was thinking you meant the starship, not the carrier.

I spent 4 1/2 years on that ship. It's not so great. But it was a prototype design, so they did a pretty decent job considering. It will last 50 years. Not bad for a prototype. (although technically the reactor in Idaho is the prototype reactor for the Enterprise)

Yorktown is more famous, but I don't think it survived the whole war.
