  1. Prinz Eugen looked good making chocolate confectionaries in Bisoku Zenshin! 😉

  2. A nit to pick - dirigibles (and blimps) often have a buoyancy in air slightly less than their gross weight, with lift generated by their airfoils (and/or overall shape) and forward airspeed making up the difference so as to prevent unintended/uncontrolled altitude gain. Attaching a Zeppelin to a ship would not decrease its gross weight by much if any, regular balloons filled with hydrogen would provide the greatest lift. Fun fact: Luftschiffbau Zeppelin GmbH is still in business with the semi-rigid dirigible NT model in production. Fun fun fact: The current Goodyear "blimps" are actually Zeppelin NT airships, with Goodyear phasing out the last of their self-made blimps about a decade ago.

  3. Calling the Regia Marina an "ice cream fleet" is silly, since it obviously would have been a "gelato fleet". 😉 I have no data, but I would be shocked if over the course of naval history, the highest per capita ice cream consumption was not by the USN Pacific fleets in WW2.

  4. As long as they were not from the Piaggio Group - already getting hard to find parts for a motorcycle made less than 15 years in Noale.

  5. Recall that a historian was beheaded by an armored knight in The Holy Grail. Remember that Drach owns a suit of armor and a sword. The conclusion is obvious. 😉
