edit- This now, this time, it's not ours. We weren't here when it happened. The experiment took place on a ship in a Philadelphia harbor. It was - 1943, October. Does this sound... crazy? You know, or is this sort of thing possible now?
- I can't believe this! Germany and Japan are our friends, and Russia's the enemy now?
- You know, I got it all figured out... Navy owes me 40 years back pay.
