You're Top Poster: #10  | Kitty's photo clearly shows a marine propeller behind the rudder assembly - but there is also a pivot for a horizontal control surface. Therefore a submarine. I think its an X-craft. |

You chose dishonor and you will have war." (Winston Churchill made this prophetic pronouncement in a House of Commons speech in 1938, just after Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain signed the Munich agreement with Hitler. Chamberlain returned from Germany with the signed agreement in hand, proclaiming that "peace in our time" had been achieved. Churchill attacked Chamberlain's "politics of appeasement" in this and many other speeches.) What did the Australians do in ww2 and other conflicts?

You're Top Poster: #20  | The quiz area seems to have either grown very quickly or someone did an amalgamation of posts. So, what do we do now? Keep the quiz questions in this post or put them in the others? I am bored, there was no quiz today? This is an easy one, so I expect to see one of the Newbies in here with an answer fast! Where was this picture taken and why is it famous?  |

You're Top Poster: #20 | Close enough but also incorrect. Where it was taken: on the PT-109 Famous: yes it is JFK on the far right It is before they were blown out of the water, otherwise they would not be standing on the deck. I intentionally cut off the part of the picture with the number so you would not know that, just to be a pest. Pass to the left, next question? |
