Je ne desire pas le nom de Le Pat; mais je desire du fromage.

Ok, so I may not speak French very well anymore, but one grandma is the first generation not born in France since, well, as far back as we can find :p And actually, it's fun to make fun of the French heritage, so go ahead! Damn I gave into that quickly, Greenspoint must be German...

quick sidenote: this may help explain the combative relationship between the two sides of the family. dad's side is scottish, english, and german; mom's is french and irish.

"Battleship Quiz" - Results:

Posted Image


Gangut The Gangut class was the largest native class of battleship actually used by the USSR in WWII. They also served in WWI, but underwent extensive upgrades and modification over the years. With four triple 12 inch guns, the Gangut carried light firepower but potentially the highest overall rate of fire of any battleship in terms of heavy shells per minute. A WWI workhorse, the Gangut class was re-used throughout WWII, providing surface bombardment to support the Soviet advance through Germany; although a heavier battleship class, the Sovietski Soyuz, was under construction as WWII opened up, it was never brought into action, leaving the Gangut the largest Soviet battleship on record.


Hrm....
