Old Navy Iron on FLickr

March 27th, 2008 by everett

I found these photos on the Library of Congress’s photo stream on Flickr. What you’re seeing are three old American battleships in the 1910s, most likely near New York, judging from some of the comments.

USS Michigan, BB-27

USS Alabama, BB-8

USS Utah, BB-31

Swanky Drinks

Mexican Martini

Ingredients
3 shots Tequila
2 shots sweet & sour mix
1 shot Bouchant
1 shot orange juice (some pulp is nice)
1 shot olive juice
Add ingredients to shaker with ice. Shake to mix; strain into martini glass and top with jalapeno-stuffed olive on a plastic toothpick.

"And should the poor-little-things destroy one of those treasures, only one, I swear: it is I who would become a holy-warrior. It is I who would become a murderer. So listen to me, you followers of a God who preaches an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. I was born in the war. I grew up in the war. About war I know a lot and believe me: I have more balls than your kamikazes who find the courage to die only when dying means killing thousands of people. Babies included. War you wanted, war you want? Good."
Author Oriana Fallaci, speaking of the idea of Islamists destroying Florence's art
