Damn voice of reason.

In Quebec, it's C.V.

Using résumé makes no sense, it's a verb, not a noun.

Ever heard of "participe passé substantivé" ? Résumé a noun too. It's just that résumé is never used in French as a synonym of curriculum vitæ.

We got a mighty convoy.

They are seriously entertaining the theory he put himself in a bag and padlocked it? 

During a seven-day inquest in May 2012, the question of whether Mr Williams could have padlocked himself into a bag in a bath was central.

Charles Rocket managed to commit suicide by cutting his own throat, so I guess it's possible.

Putting yourself in a bag and then paddlocking it from the outside strikes me as more Houdini-esque than cutting your own throat.

The bad thing about this kind of a story is that you can't even come up with some witty snark comment.  How can you top the actual conclusion?

Just wait for the gymnastics the authorities are going to have to perform to explain away, when the former British ambassador to Russia if found hanging upside down from a tree, having apparently performed a blood-eagle on himself.

And he did it without his hands as there were no fingerprints found on the lock! Sounds quite plausible.

It's a goddamned aircraft carrier.

Three Federation CVA's.

CVA MacArthur

Y181
The Alliance launches Operation Remus: Federation and Kzintis attack Romulans from the west while
Gorns drive from the north. The Kzinti fleet surprises a Romulan fleet at anchor and destroys it.
Reasoning that their mission to guard the flank of the Federation fleet has been fulfilled, and
responding to reports of Klingon attacks on their territory, the Kzintis withdraw without warning,
collapsing an Alliance drive that could have captured the Romulan capital. Facing heavy pressure,
the Gorns are diverted westward and cannot reach Remus. The Federation Fleet reaches Remus
alone; forces of both sides annihilate each other. CVA MacArthur crashes into the planet, rendering
it almost uninhabitable.

CVA Zhukov

Y184
Pleiades Turkey Shoot (SH17). The Klingons launch a massive fighter attack on Federation
Zhukov carrier group, reasoning that if they can destroy it they can win the war

CVA Napoleon

Y198
Destroyed during the final battle of Operation Unity, battling the Andromedans in the Lesser Magellanic Cloud
