Drachisms of the Day (2/3):
12:34 "Well, I couldn't easily find a picture of the 'B-Bomb' for love-nor-money,
sooo...HERE...have a picture of a 'Grand Slam' instead! Ah...(lowered voice) it's
always good for a laugh. Anyway..for those of you who are unaware, the B-Bomb was a
design of bomb, unsurprisingly enough. HaHa."
15:11 "Level bombing in, or dropping bombs from any significant height at any sort
at the beginning of WW2, was NOT the world's most accurate endeavor."
18:19 "And then, at some point in WW2, they just dropped all subtlety and went with
stuff like this...which was, yeah, you know, 'STUFF ACCURACY. We'll just hit the same
post-code and you'll still be dead.'
20:27 "As opposed to the old black powder charges, which were: Fire guns. INSTANT
smoke screen. Everyone might as well sit down and have a cup of tea because nobody can
see what-the-heck is on either side of that cloud of smoke for a good five or six
minutes."
27:19 "Imagine some kind of weird trimaran-IOWA maybe if they just..MAYBE IF
THEY LITERALLY just took some industrial girders and strapped a couple of ATLANTAs
to each side."
28:41 "In some ways, eh...BOTH of the answers actually are potentially answers to
BOTH of the questions, in that aspect."
31:58 "Well if you want to break the Naval Treaty, you are effectively shooting
your own economy in the head. Soo..have fun with that. (continue listening until)
It was a simpler time back then."
33:28 "Everyone was horribly 'rules lawyering' the Washington Naval Treaty."
46:04 "DON'T PUT YOUR MAIN MAST RIGHT BEHIND THE FUNNEL. Stupid people. Anyway."
53:08 "Their ball-and-chain effect on the rest of the fleet is less."
(I googled 'b bomb', 'bee bomb', etc. No luck. Your assistance is appreciated.)
