    Simpler is better, except when complicated looks really cool.

    The Russian Popoff writ small.

    It really is quite difficult to build an ugly wooden boat.

    Was supposed to be a ship, ended up as a floating artillery unit. Slow, finicky and with a tendency to spin. How it ever went past the model phase is beyond me.

    "Banning books in spite of the 1st amendment, but refusing to regulate guns in spite of "well regulated militia' being in the 2nd amendment makes no sense. Can't think of anyone ever shot by a book
