Something I've always wondered...

For what purpose do U-boats have a serated bar at the front? Looks like wire cutters used on some military jeeps...anyone know?

Not sure about it but ive read that somewhere

This reminds me of what you posted in April:

How did you get over 2000 posts, and not know this? Or be able to figure this out on your own.

And while your being dressed down.

When asking question this fundamentally simpleton, you should leave the flag at home.

Dismissed.

You got your first warning for writing this, now you get your second. One more strike and you are out.

I've said it before and I'll say it again for Manock's benefit...

Of special note is the fine print at the bottom of the image.

Does anyone know how effective the netguards were?? Is there any historical evidence of boats getting snared??

Didn't like the pervious post. Bad taste, making fun with another person's misfortune, IMHO.

This kid running in the Sp. Olympics might be the kid of someone in the forums (metaphorically speaking)

My kid, no. My brother, yes.
I find it offensive and sadly common.

Too much name-calling here, plus that stupid image...
