So Neil, why do you love battleships so much more than carriers? Is it the phallic symbolism inherit in the guns?
Because the dreadnought battleship was the apex of symmetrical, hierarchical naval warfare, which I find intellectually pleasing.  It is also the most important naval weapon of the late Victorian, Edwardian and Georgian eras, a period that I am interested in.
A much better answer than I was expecting. :)
I always knows the why behind my actions.
Yeah, but you often give ridiculous answers rather than serious ones.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Rarely when it involves dreadnoughts.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

A lot of us "hardcore" LEGO MOC builders are also not adverse to painting parts or cutting them with an exacto knife, either.

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.
