I found that number a wee bit odd too. But as we say in the colonies, "It's the government, what could possibly go wrong?

I prefer was the 45th President, "is" implies you're buying into the stolen Election conspiracy. 

Going back to 7 December, I'll never forget the events of that date as it's my birthday.

I see your point (present tense) & stand corrected. I now shall recognize Pearl Harbor Day as your birthday, Mark. 

We did ours last Sunday, over here it's always the last Sunday in March and October.

A good example of the dangers a ship's captain faced and the consequences of his being killed can be found in the Battle of the Yellow Sea in 1904 during the Russo-Japanese War. 

Rear Admiral Wilgelm Vitgeft was the commander of the Russian Fleet on board the flagship Tsarevich when it was hit by Japanese gunfire, he and the entire bridge crew were killed and the wheel jammed into a port turn. With the ship out of control and appearing to be heading away from the action and furthermore no-one in command the Russian Fleet followed the Tsarevich. Once it was realized that the flagship was out of control some Russian vessels attempted to rejoin the action, but it was too late, co-ordination had been lost and the battle was over.

Excellent example, Mark. My memory of that war was when Togo "Crossed the T" at Tsushima & defeated the Russian fleet commanded by Rozhestvensky (spelling). "Crossing the T" was a classic naval maneuver used by commanders of opposing fleets for centuries. It involved bringing to bear broadside batteries against the single forward batteries of the enemy in a devastating fusillade of concentrated firepower. 

I digress, Nelson the Cat was the official mouser at 10 Downing during WWII. I know Churchill had an affinity for naval heroes & cats. I wonder if Winnie named the cat after the Nelson & I can find nothing on it. Please advise. 

For some reason Albanians, Muslim Albanians that is, often held high rank in the Ottoman Court, several Grand Viziers and military commanders were Albanian. Also a number of wives of the Sultans were from the same area.  

After having sex Tommy, they should have left him on the bed sheets.

How about the ones that from rape pick up STD's or STI's and then pass it on to their own husbands or boyfriends. Can it affect a baby if you get pregnant?

Yes, Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) such as herpes, HIV, syphilis, and gonorrhea can cause problems for both you and your baby during pregnancy. Also known as STDs (sexually transmitted diseases), these are infections you can catch during unprotected vaginal, oral, or anal sex. Some of these infections can pass from mother to baby in the womb or during delivery. Getting tested and treated for STIs during pregnancy can ensure the best possible outcome for both you and your baby.

Would you also say attempted murder if a rapist knowing passed this on to his victim. How about if he was aids that he passed on.
