Also, they managed to maintain COMPLETE secrecy doing this, did so in a couple of days, and no one who served on both ships noticed anything fishy.
Umm...sure.  |
I knew there was an explanation for all this. Why that Harland & Wolff ship builders are crafty buggers for having figured this all out. I'm most impressed that H&S managed to do this in a few days.
Seriously, Thanks for the great information.
I'm serious about Elvis though. Elvis is operating a McDonalds chain on Mars. It is for space weary aliens hankering for a Big Mac on their way to Earth. Although, it could be said that Elvis is protecting mankind from an alien attack and occupation. Once aliens suffer heart burn and indigestion from a Big Mac attack, they want no parts of Earth and turn back.
