The Director Posted August 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 There is also another device similar that they called the Harpax or something that was strong and more effective because it could be shot at far distance and pull enemy ships in rendering them helpless. It was first introduced in the Battle of... Naulous? Indeed. The Harpax was a modified version of the Corvus. And I think it's Naulocus, Naulokus or Naulochus. lol I know there's a *kuh* in there somewhere xD 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Complete Loser Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 What was it that made the Military to change from Battleships to Destroyers(and sometimes Cruisers) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Director Posted August 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 What was it that made the Military to change from Battleships to Destroyers(and sometimes Cruisers) Destroyers were far more cost effective than Battleships. WWII Destroyers are mere tugboats compared to modern Destroyers, and are far more capable of protecting Carriers than Battleships due to the invention of the guided missile, which gave it the same capabilities as a Battleship, with a bit more underwater firepower (Destroyers were originally made to blow up submarines). Battleships are big and bulky compared to Destroyers, so what they ended up doing was splitting the Battleships normal tasks with Carriers and Destroyers (carriers couldn't be scrapped because of how valuable aircraft can be in an engagement). Now, a fleet of Carriers and Destroyers has similar capabilities to fleets that used to contain battleships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Director Posted August 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 What is the square rout of 0? O.o It depends on your preference for wording. It's either "undefined", "No solution", or "0". How many galaxy's exist that we know of ? Roughly between 20 and 25. Most of them are named as well But a lot of them (nearly half) are not named. An example of a named Galaxy would be the Andromeda Galaxy. An example of an unnamed one would be M87. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vinyl Scratch Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 Solve this riddle: In hell there were 12 souls seated around a table with a feast set before them. The only catch was they could not use their hands to eat and they were given spoons ten feet long. These souls were starving. In Heaven there were 12 souls seated around a table with the same feast set before them with the same conditions. However, these 12 souls were fat and merry, laughing with joy........Why?

The Director Posted August 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 Exactly how much knowledge do I possess....? *my location should give a hint* There is no quantifiable way to measure knowledge. The closest way that humanity has developed is the "IQ". However, this does not necessarily measure knowledge as much as it measures a capacity to learn. There is no "I possess exactly 12000 TB of knowledge in my head right now". So, the only true answer to this question is that not even you know how much knowledge you possess. Director, how is it you stay soooo regular? And how do you keep your abs in such stone hard shape? Actually, due to a semi-botched appendectomy (I should have done it myself) at the age of 18, I have developed IBS. So, I'm really really not regular xD As for my abs, I undergo a weekly body hardening session that involves two poles that are about 2.5 feet in length (they can be wooden, metal, or plastic, it doesn't really matter) and beat the living crap out of my abdominal muscles. That coupled with exercise = my body. lol Solve this riddle: In hell there were 12 souls seated around a table with a feast set before them. The only catch was they could not use their hands to eat and they were given spoons ten feet long. These souls were starving. In Heaven there were 12 souls seated around a table with the same feast set before them with the same conditions. However, these 12 souls were fat and merry, laughing with joy........Why? Because the people in heaven were feeding each other and the people in hell were to selfish to think of that. Which explains why they were where they were. Why do people lie? To avoid telling the truth. Some people cannot face certain truths, or are afraid of what the truth may lead to, so they lie to try to hide the truth.

However, your best friend is whoever you want it to be. So you could, hypothetically, change best friends by the time you read this.

Your answer 20-25 is far from correct, unfortunately. That is approximately how many are NAMED. The estimated number of galaxies we have seen is nearly 1 billion. Actually no, the question was "that we know of". The number is CONFIRMED galaxies. That includes named and unnamed. Why dont scientists take insperation for Galaxy names from the Halo universe?!? O.o Because Halo has yet to actually expand beyond the Milky Way. In the Haloverse, our galaxy is what all the stuff happens in. The names you see are names of solar systems. 1. What are the WWII warplanes 2. Who are the most infamous Generals and Admirals of WWI and WWII 3. What are the most infamous warships of the sailing age to WWII 1. Oh there were several. Dozens, in fact. There were bi-planes, monoplanes, bombers, and even jet propelled planes! Not to mention those that were in the prototype stage.2. I'll give you two for WWI and two for WWII (one admiral and one general). For WWI, General Plumer (Herbert Plumer) and Admiral Alfred Von Tirpitz (might be misspelled). For WWII, General Douglas MacArthor and Fleet Admiral Chester J. Nimitz (you may recognize that name lol there is a class of ships named after him). 3. Hmm... This is a toughy. Not because there aren't very many, but exactly the opposite. I'll just list a couple off the top of my head that you should read up on. The C.S.S. Hunley, the U.S.S. Monitor, the U.S.S. Constitution, the HMS Victory, The Bismarck, the U.S.S. Maine, and the HMS Hood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
