I think the A-Team built the very same vehicle that one episode where they got locked in the tool shed.
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

Looks like that dozer the guy in Colorado covered in armor plate and used to go on a rampage through town.
I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.

I just want to know which road this thing was supposed to use to reach Piazza San Marcos. Unless it was an amphibious invasion.

I'm actually vaguely sympathetic with this, Italian linguistic and cultural policies suck, and it is probably really annoying that a lot of Lombard or Venetian money goes towards gene pool a warping level contaminated landfills in the south.

Good point...they can't succeed....oh wait, never mind. Breaking news on CNN; the Italian military just surrendered.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

You must be mistaken.  The Italian Military has always preferred death to surrender.

What are you on about?
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

From what I could understand they take all the money in Venice and take it down to Bari and dig a big hole, dump waste from genetic testing labs in it, and then pour all of Venice's money on top of it and fill up the hole.

:hmm:
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.
