Me too. It never gets boring.

I guess because it's so believable.

Actually it was boring the second time I heard it. And how is it believable? You actually think naval vessels depend on lighthouses so as not to crash into things?

This is true, they don't. But, they do run into things occasionally. This results in the current CO never being allowed to have a ship ever again and promptly retire or sit behind a desk for the rest of his/her career. My bro took temporary command of a ship in the Gulf last year due to an inept CO colliding with a big bouy of some sort, See USS Firebolt .

Whenever you see something that seems too ridiculous to be true, check snopes.

Default The British Are Awesome

Towards the end of WW2, the Germans were trying desperately trying ploys to halt their coming defeat. One such measure was the building of decoy airfields. They built one such field in Holland, out of wood. There were wooden hangers, oil tanks, gun emplacements, trucks, and aircraft. It took weeks and weeks of time and work, and finally the task was complete. That very day, a lone RAF bomber came into view, circled the field once above the strangely silent anti-aircraft guns, and then dropped its payload.

A large, wooden bomb.
