The Fridge / Great Maritime disasters
« on: January 02, 2006, 05:04:40 AM »
Alright, this has nothing to do with LBT.  I just want to know if any of you know of any great shipwrecks (other than the Titanic.  We all know the story of that.)  I will list some that I have heard of and how they sank.
Empress of Ireland- Collision with another ship in the St. Lawrence River on May 29, 1914.  This ship has sadly almost been completely forgotten.  It sank only weeks before the outbreak of WWI and was never a popular news story.  1,012 people died.  Intresting fact: Of the 1500 people who died on the Titanic, 832 were passengers.  Of the 1,012 people who died on the Empress of Ireland, 840 were passengers.  This means 8 more passengers died on this ship than on the Titanic.

Lusitania- British passenger ship torpedoed by German u-boat off the coast of Ireland on May 7, 1915.  1125 people died.

Britannic- Brittish hospital ship sunk by explotion of unknown origion of the coast of Italy.  Only 30 people died.  Some people believe the ship was torpedoed by a u-boat but it is unlikly though because u-boats usually didn't fire upon hospitally ships.  It was more likly a mine that sank the Brittanic.  Intresting fact: The Britannic was the sister ship of the Titanic.  She was to be bigger nd more luxurious than the Titanic but was taken by the Royal Navy as a hospital ship.  The ship is also the biggest ship ever to sink.  Her wreck is almost completely intact and relatively untouched.  Looters don't salvage hospital ships because they don't carry anything of value except sick and wounded people.  Another intresting fact:  The Titanic's other sister, the Olympic was the only one to have a successful career.  She was, however, scrapped in 1935.  Today though, parts of her first class lounge and the ship's grand staircase (not sure if that should be capitalized or not) can be found at a hotel in England.  I will post pistures of these ships except I forgot how.  Someone please tell me how.  I will get more in detail on these ships later on.  ust thought I would share some of my knowledge of maritime desasters with you.  It can be quite intresting at times.  If any of you have ever hard of any of these ships or know of any others, please share your knowledge.  I get my scources from books, tv, and the internet.  I love learning stuff.  Now, I can post pics.  The one here is a picture of the Britannic, sister of the Titanic.

The Fridge / Strange Weather
« on: December 28, 2005, 05:14:41 PM »
I was just out riding my bike when all hell broke loose!  In Alabama, we do not get snow in the winter.  We get rain.  However,it has been unusually warm today.  It still gets cold this time of year and it is 80 degrees right now!  Usually tornado weather!  It is normally 40* F here but it is 82*.  Plus, we have been having very, and I mean VERY heavy thunderstorms all day.  The sky did clear up for a bit and I thought the storm was gone.  I was riding my bike and the sky was clear.  then, the sky got black and iI mean black clouds and, a huge thunderstorm came out of nowhere.  I peddeled home as fast as I could.  It started pouring like crazy right after I got in the house.  Man, it is dark and scarry outside.  Behold, Alabama's wierd weather.  It can be clear one minute and two seconds later there can be a raging thunderstorm like the one raging outside even as I type.  Two years ago, we were whitewater rafting in Pratville, Alabama on a clear day.  As soon as we got out of the water, a thunderstorm popped up.  Of course, it was summer so a sudden thunderstorm was not unusual but four people,(we didn't know),  were hit by lightning at some river event.  Last Easter, we had a huge tornado outbreak. :huh:  :o  :(  :unsure:  :blink:  :cry2

LBT Fanfiction / LBT Forums on Ff.net
« on: December 27, 2005, 09:36:25 PM »
I created a new Land Before Time forum on Fanfiction.net, not that this one isn't good.  It is for people on that site to talk about LBT.

The Fridge / Fanfiction.net
« on: December 15, 2005, 08:36:33 AM »
Once again, I am angry with FF.net.  They didn't even tell me why.  However, this time, someone was nice enough to warn me first so I could remove the unalloud entry before they could check it.  I had my bounty hunter story on there and someone said they were reporting it for inapropriat content.  I have no clue why because it complies with their harsh guidlines.  I'm sure it was alright but I took it off anyway just to be safe.  In three days, I will be able to post on Fictionpress.com as I am a new member.  I will post the story on there instead.

General Land Before Time / What age are they?
« on: December 10, 2005, 09:55:22 PM »
What age are the LBT gang.  They never seem to get any older but if they did, that would ruin the story.  They always seem to be the same age though.

Gamers Zone / Favorite video game and why
« on: December 04, 2005, 10:47:22 PM »
B) My favorite video game of all time is Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War made by Namco.  I have always had a love for airplanes.  The graphics are beautiful andthe jets are highly detaled.  The storyline is great too.  There is a sad part of the game though.  One of the characters named Chopper gets killed half way through.

The Fridge / Favorite and least favorite Star Wars character
« on: December 04, 2005, 10:22:39 PM »
Who is your favorite Star Wars character?  Who isyourleast favorite character?  My favorite character is Boba Fett.  My least favorite is Jar Jar Binks.  He messed up the first movie.  By the way, if you are not a Star Wars fan and are just going to fry me for putting this here, don't even bother.  However, if this is not a good topic to discuess, please let me know.

LBT Fanfiction / new fanfic I am planning
« on: December 04, 2005, 08:16:24 PM »
I am planning a new LBT fic in which Ozzie and Strutt, Dil and Ichy, and Sierra and Rynkus ( I assume Pteronto no longer hangs around with them) join up and go after the gang.  It will also have Ali in it.  I just came up with the idea today and am still planning it.  This will have no dang technology or crossovers in it.  It will just be a true LBT fic.  Sound good?

Yes, what if Littlefoot's mother had survived?  How would the movie have been different?  You decide but I have my own version.  I may post it later as a fanfic.-F-14 ace.

Ok, a Star Wars haracter lands on Earth millions of years ago.  Star Wars does take place a long time ago.  Hey, it is possible.  I would love to see what would happen if Ozzie ad Strutt met Boba Fett or Darth Vader.  He he he.
