Huh? Forget Mad Magazine, I imagine this particular LAPD squad would have showed up at the factory that made Wacky Packages with billy clubs, rubber bullets and flamethrowers.

Talk about inappropriate police activity.

Alex - I guess that would be a Skinner Boom Box, then.

JMF - to the best of my knowledge, no ship with a blimp escort was ever lost in combat.


Nope, they just disapeared into the Bermuda Triangle.

Frankly, this may be true, but I just don't get it. Blimps are slow and fairly visible. Sure, they serve as great spotting platforms, but wouldn't a blimp just scream out "There's a ship here! Come and sink it!" I guess the guys on the blimp could try to drop things on the u-boat as they got a birds-eye view of their comrades being sent to Davy Jones' Locker.

What am I missing here?

Slightly orthogonal to the main thread, but related to Cardinals, I have always enjoyed press references to the Archbishop of Manila, Cardinal Sin.
