You might want to add motherfucker
I recall a building that was touted as one of Saddam's "chemical weapons labs" when I was in Iraq. Technically, I suppose it was something of the sort. It amounted to a large room at the back of a building with tiled walls and floor, a closet full of rotten old gas masks, and a spot out back that was constantly wet where glass bottles would surface after sandstorms. It had been mostly abandoned for about fifteen years by the time we got there and was disappointingly unimpressive. We used it as a maintenance unit headquarters.
The Administration has a tendency to exaggerate.
And on Saturdays, he masquerades as the patron saint of efficiency.
Thank you for posting that last link. I asked about him on my LJ and all I got were comments along the lines of "he's horrible" with nothing to explain why.
We used shipping containers for offices in Iraq. The biggest problem was trying to heat or cool them. Unless you put an additional roof several inches above them, during the summer they will remain hot on the opposite end from the constantly running air conditioner. During the winter, there is no way to prevent the heat from leaching out the metal walls.
We did have container living there. But, the company was in Turkey. They were quite comfortable, especially if you hung camo netting over the top to shade it.
