I wonder how it performs in snow with a moose on the roof?

SeaKing Taco +2.  The problem, which is the point of this thread, is that the stuff will be in shorter and shorter supply while demand increases.  Price fixing will not, and never has worked.  Supply and demand are going to drive what happens with oil.

Some more oil news today of interest from the CTV website.  The article is credited and reproduced below: http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/story/CTVNews/20060713/oil_prices_060713/20060713?hub=TopStories Oil prices hit new high amid Mideast tension Updated Thu. Jul. 13 2006 2:05 PM ET...

Agincourt is a significant after-affect of that battle; however the real significance of Harfleur lay in the successful decisive employment of heavy siege cannon in reducing the city walls.  This battle can be said to have meant the end of of the walled city and castle as a successful method of...

Nowhere_man, your answer is bit more a question than an answer. Here is another question: What was the significant decisive element at the siege of Harfleur?

Rhibwolf is correct. There is a longstanding belief that the stripes originate from the British uniform and recognize Nelson's 3 greatest victories - the Nile, Copehagen, and Trafalgar; however the US Navy states at: http://www.history.navy.mil/library/online/uniform_historical.htm Three Rows...

Here's a new question, what is represented by the three white stripes on the collar of the US Navy uniform?

My sincere condolences to the family of this fine young soldier.  Lest we forget...

Leutnant Oswald Boelcke awarded on -- 12 Jan. 1916. (40 victories) Leutnant Max Immelmann awarded on -- 12 Jan. 1916. (15 victories) That is correct!

Good answer Trooper Hale.  Captain James McCudden, VC, DSO - 54 confirmed kills.  He rose from the ranks and became an inspiration to others.  He was killed in an accident in 1918. The New Zealander paticipation near Beersheba consisted of other elements of Chavel's ANZAC Mounted Corps.  He...

On the Fokker Scourge, Trooper Hale is largely correct.  The winter of 1915/1916 was the time of the Fokker Scourge because the Fokker monoplane was armed with a machine gun synchronized to fire between the blades of the propeller.  The scourge lasted about 6 months.  The Vickers gun bus, the FE...

Jawohl, Larry das is rechts auf Deutsch!  15cm = 150mm    ;D

Okay Geo, that's a pretty good guess.  Specifically, the Gerat 588 (a.k.a. GW 638/27) was a self-propelled heavy (150mm) infantry gun mounted on a Hetzer tank destroyer chassis.  6 were converted from existing Hetzers and 24 were made new. What was the time of the 'Fokker Scourge'? What was the...

So, any takers on what is a Gerat 588 or GW 638/27? (same thing)

The thread that never dies continues!  What is a Gerat 588 or GW 638/27?

Good Luck? Naw, it just means that he likes Franziskaner Weissbier.  See: http://www.franziskaner.com/

Michael, no seems to have gotten the answer to this one, so could you please post it and then we can move on with another question? Thanks.

When you buy second-hand, you are often buying other people's problems.
