My favorite was several years back when the battleship magazine exploded
with black powder.

That's the kind of powder you'll find in battleship magazines, Bob. Those
16-inch guns are charged with sacks of black powder. They couldn't take the
pressure of anything else. That's why old photos of the New Jersey, the
Ohio, and so on show those huge blasts of smoke.

I ****ing give up on the press in the United States.

gigantic rant about all sorts of stuff snipped

you cannot honestly turn the lack of knowlege of the press on a particular
subject into a politcal statement like you did. You can point out they
are
wrong, and you can have your political opinions, but you have to recognize
that reporters do not know everything, and with the cutbacks, they know
less
and less and can spend very little time in research. Almost anyone who
knows a lot about some subject will find errors in reporting on that
subject - that is not a political thing, that is what we get with the
monopilzation of our press and the loss of critical thinking skills by
having our schools pander to the lowest common denominator.

And you end up with statements like my favourite "Police seized a 22
gauge rifle......"
there are lots of smart folks on this NG, with a wide variety of
opinions -
how about showing neural activity not just glandular reactions
